Sloan - AUTOBIOGRAPHY lyrics

rate me

(C. Murphy/Sloan)

I'm writing "young and gifted"

In my autobiography

I figured, who would know

Better than me

I'm certainly the former

But I'm not so much the latter

But no one's gonna read it

So I'm sure it doesn't matter

When you find that you're the former

Take pride in how you form

And when you find that you're the ladder

Don't let those people walk under you

I'm writing "sharp and adult"

With my finger on the steam

On the mirror in my bathroom

While I'm applying shaving cream

Which would suggest that I'm the foamer

But how can I be the lather

And something tells me

It's the opposite I'd rather

When you find that you're the foamer

Be careful what you foam

When you find that you're the lather

Don't shave too high, you'll regret it later

La la la la

I've stayed in school this long

But still no one will tell me why

They figured who would know

Better than I

I know I'm a conformer

But I'm sure it doesn't matter

My new friends are all adults

And my old friends all have scattered

When you find you're a conformer

Take pride and swallow whole

But if you're trying to climb the ladder

Don't let people walk over you

Because that's just what they'll do

Don't let people walk over you

Because that's just what they'll do
