Lyrics
My daddy's boots don't fit me 'Cause I'm bigger than him He says I make him big now I'm bigger than him You see there's nothing worth achieving All your dreams are just deceiving You've locked the doors on your good living And you told me to wait You've got me backed into a corner You're making me hate I say there's nothing worth achieving All your dreams are just deceiving [They say there's nothing worth achieving All your dreams are just deceiving] Throwing stones that are reeling From a reasonable light You muscle in when I have a party Ready to fight I say there's nothing worth achieving All your dreams are just deceiving Nothing Nothing Nothing
