Screeching Weasel - Fortune Cookie Lyrics

I look inside my fortune cookie; it never changes
It seems I'm fated to continue to repeat mistakes
I'm always behind the 8-ball; a victim of my destiny
All the stars aligned in mocking harmony

I often think of what I could've been if I'd the courage
Instead of clinging to you helplessly, I'm so discouraged
If I should come back to you, avert thine eyes of pity then
I don't want my fortune coming true again

Each day I'm just a little closer to forgetting
Then I'm reminded there will be no happy ending

Looking inside my fortune cookie is too depressing
I've become fed up with the fantasies and second guessing
Now it's so much easier to sit back and accept it
But I don't want my fortune coming true again
No, I don't want my fortune coming true again, you again
I don't want my fortune coming true
