Your Parents' Money - An Overview of 27

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?
