Spoiled

Conor Oberst


Can't break a rule that ain't been made
I started chasing ponytails and mushroom clouds and black fields
I don't want to feel this entertained
Sitting on a crowded coach, staring at the stereo
Watching all the hippies through the haze
From gentle soul to sad and stoned
No one wants to be alone
But you know you can't always get your way

Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down
Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you're still let down

Yeah, farmer, he's a sentient being
Sipping on his canteen
Passes it to me, i can't say thanks
???
She steers clear of me
Remembers all those bad scenes
If she'd just sit still, i could explain

And every time i fucked her mind
It's because i thought i was in love
And i woke up with that same thought today

Well, so it goes, the ebb and flow
Happiness was (never us?)
If it's all free, why would you ever pay?

Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you're still let down
Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down

Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down
Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you're still let down

Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down
Tell me what you're going to do now
You get everything you wanted and you're still let down
