Streets Ahead (If You Have to Ask, You’re Streets Behind) Lyrics by Settle Your Scores
Retrofit
2021
I've never been the cool kid Guess life just never went as planned I should've been chasing girls and chasing highs But instead I joined the band And while I learned a lot of notes and scales That just don't equate to record sales Guess I should've followed more trends (Or made famous friends) Instead of wasting time with a guitar and a pen No wonder no one will ever know my name Just once I just want something to change No, I just can't let this go But the voice in my head says Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it No, I've never felt this low But the knot in my chest says Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it I never aimed to strike it rich I know six strings won't make my wallet thick I just hoped if I wrote til my fingers, they broke I'd stick out from the crowd, maybe feed one mouth Thought I'd bide my time and just bite my tongue Try to cut my teeth while they flap their gums But I guess I overslept through my fifteen minutes of fame The last fifteen years flushed down the drain No wonder no one will ever know my name Just once I just want something to change No, I just can't let this go But the voice in my head says Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it No, I've never felt this low But the knot in my chest says Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it This scene it seems more like a herd I'll never fit your inner circle Guess my edges are too rough Or maybe I'm not good enough So follow suit and tie your tongue Cause all of the best dreams die so young I gave my blood, my sweat, my tears Yet all I ever hear is No, I just can't let this go But my gut still screams Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it No, I've never felt this low But the knot in my chest says Listen up, just give up and go home kid Pack it up cause you're never gonna make it You're never, ever, ever gonna make it
