Flypaper Scissors - The World Owes You Nothing Lyrics

The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
But a goddamn lump of coal

You've got somewhere else better to be
And anywhere's better than right here
Stuck in the middle with me
And I know that you'd rather leave
But we promised them that we'd be there
So we'll stay right where we are
You said, "Take a look at all this mess
The pieces on the floor"
And I've got barely the strength to hold on

The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
But a goddamn lump of coal

I'm not the same person that I was
And you're not the same person either
At least this we know to be true
And I know when I look at myself
I see the shell of a person
That once had the guts to be strong
I said, "Take it all, the house, the cars, the love, the memories
And tell the kids that I love them so"

The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
But a goddamn lump of coal
The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing
But a goddamn lump of coal
