My Version of It - My Life Is a Con Lyrics

This is who I used to be
But now my life is a con
Don't tell me it's good enough...
And I suggest you move on

In that dream I was a carpenter
On a variety show
The wood has rot and my blade's too dull
And the audience let me know

Don't tell me it's good enough
Then thrown tantrum when I turn to go
You never know... the six of wands could show

This is the house I grew up in
What's that shuffling sound?
You don't have to get excited I was
Just on my way out!

This used to be a family town
But I was just standing tight
Don't tell me, tell it to the judge
But officer, I have rights

Don't tell me you're getting bored
Then throw a tantrum when it's time to go
You'll never know how much we must bare

Don't tell it's getting late then
Throw a ratchet in my plans to go
Let me know...
If people stop and stare

For me... I'm gonna beg...

This used to be who I was
But now my life is a con
Don't tell me it's good enough...
And I suggest you move on...

This clock has a pendulum
But it isn't weighted right
It isn't swinging at a even rate and
It kept me up most the night

For me... I'm gonna beg for my life
For me... for... me!
