Your Parents' Money - An Overview of 27 Lyrics

The black-tie convention was a semi-success
We set up, tore down, in record time
Shook some hands, made no friends, I played by myself
And bought a few books on how to win at life

27 held me in the palm of its hands
Interrogating neighbors and a couple of friends
No one knew how I grew, keeping thoughts to myself
Now my biggest claim to fame will be a foot in my mouth

I've always had the fear of feeling unknown
Like a faceless name behind a shit quote
I've always had the fear of feeling obsessed
So tell me, are you feeling ready?
Tell me, are you feeling ready?

I've always had the fear of feeling unknown
Like a faceless name behind a shit quote
I've always had the fear of feeling obsessed
You know I'm never waiting and I'm always instigating

Let me feel the deadly defeat of a police chase
Let the headlines paint me in a new way
I've always had the fear of getting ahead
So tell me, are you feeling ready?
Tell me, are you feeling ready...
To live life in excess?
To live life in excess?
