Matt Wixson - Champion of Mediocrity and Disappointment Lyrics

People like to say that you're never gonna make it
And you shouldn't even give it a shot
I have a word for them I call them family but I'm
Already fucked and this is all that I've got

And if by this time next year I'm not signed to Megalith
Or Asian Man or Stomp or Jump Up
Then I'm telling you right now I heading down to the pawn shop
And my dumb fucking one-man-band will break up

And I'll try to finish college but I'll slack off again
And throw a couple thousand dollars away
I'll also fail as a writer and as a semi driver
I'll do shitty jobs for minimum wage

And by this time I'll be kicked out of my house
And probably living with a roommate I hate
Getting drunk, getting high, watching cartoons every night
Trying to forget all my major mistakes

Like remember that one time I went on tour and I loved it
And a couple people there loved me back
But I never took advantage and wrote more funny songs
Because my mind was just a fucking trainwreck

I thought the world was a Venn diagram and I could walk
In two completely different circles at once
But in trying I managed to fall out of both
And I guess some would just say thems the breaks, son

Well the moral of the story is don't have dreams
You can aim low and then you'll still probably miss
It's nothing personal, just a depressing observation
And if you don't like it you can just kiss
My ass
