Parents Guide To Living by Lagwagon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed, nothing's right
He has no sense of pride
Sees no respect in his parents eyes
And why should he care?
No one ever cared for him

[Verse 2]
Wasting her nights and her days
Sixteen with a child
God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame
And that impurity made her bed
No fucking choice
She took two lives instead

[Bridge]
All these worthless nights
All these wasted days
Down the path I follow you
'Cause who am I? Denial
I still care, my life in the air
Laughing harder in self conscious
I've played my last solitaire
That shirt's too tight to wear
[Verse 3]
Wasting my nights and my days
Nothing's changed, nothing's right
I know I'm not exactly
The parents guide to living
But it's the road less traveled
In this world so unforgiving
And I've lost count of score
