(***)THE MAINSTREAM
I don’t know how to care
It’s just a letter there
Defining me, yet so easily
It tears
I can’t think of a reason to change
A straight-A-Student might think I’m deranged
I’m so awake yet so gone
I can’t figure out
Why you can’t figure out
That there’s nothing wrong
With the way I live my life
And where I wanna go
Your hopes for my future are so fucked up and
I hope that you know
That I won’t be going to Harvard
I’m gonna live in a mansion of cardboard
And that’s fine with me
Mamma can’t you see
I’m not the mainstream
Chorus
Won’t settle for books and an hour of sleep
Paying off debt till I’ve hit my peak
Marry a pure-bread bonifide lady
And have 2.5 kids that’ll drive me crazy
No
Gonna grow up on a highway
Live life my way
And it’s fine
Because it’s mine
I’m not the mainstream
It’s just a letter there
Defining me, yet so easily
It tears
I can’t think of a reason to change
A straight-A-Student might think I’m deranged
I’m so awake yet so gone
I can’t figure out
Why you can’t figure out
That there’s nothing wrong
With the way I live my life
And where I wanna go
Your hopes for my future are so fucked up and
I hope that you know
That I won’t be going to Harvard
I’m gonna live in a mansion of cardboard
And that’s fine with me
Mamma can’t you see
I’m not the mainstream
Chorus
Won’t settle for books and an hour of sleep
Paying off debt till I’ve hit my peak
Marry a pure-bread bonifide lady
And have 2.5 kids that’ll drive me crazy
No
Gonna grow up on a highway
Live life my way
And it’s fine
Because it’s mine
I’m not the mainstream
