Your potential, you lack credentials

And you are special, so fucking special (Rita)
GAA
Oh how you need it, oh how you're needing
GAA
And you keep squeezin' the tube from the middle (ay ay ay ay)
A
You part the seas but your arches, they ain't golden (ah)
GAA
And you was gaggin' for some gags so now you're rollin' (woo)
GAA
Best you shut your trap and keep it hush (hush)
ACB
On another note, compliments make me blush

There's a hole in your pocket so you cannot find the change
AD
Cavern of your mind, you say your patterned
AD
You pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
BBb
"What was scripted, the day before it happened?"
AD
We all give applause when people open doors
AD
But on the way out it did your back in
AD
See, everything in life ain't silver and gold
BBb
But minin' for metal gave you platinum

You're gettin' sold, it's such a waste
AD
You know, we could do so much better than this

Swimmin' in pools of momentary bliss

Meanwhile you keep on adding, how big you gonna grow?
