here is the lyrics:
verse 1
Everybody/is tired/and poor and sick of tryin!
If you see me/on a corner/will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at/what we've become/nothin more than silhouettes of
A pretty family/on a postcard/picture perfect i dont want it!

Chorus:
So I hold my breath till my heart/explodes!
cause this is how it is and this is how it/goes!
you can steal my body but you cant sell my soul
Cause/this is how it is and this is how it goes!

verse 2
Shitty weather/bad timing/lucky penny glued to the ground
dirty look from/a total stranger/hope you get lost and you're not found!
Take a look at/what we've become/nothin more than silhouettes of
A pretty family/on a postcard/picture perfect i dont want it!

Chorus

this is/how it/it goes!
this is/how it/it goes!

Introlude
So unscrew my head/and rinse it out!
polish my thoughts/turn into doubts!

Chorus

Have fun with this song and if you have any problems DEAL WITH IT
