I can't get excited by this state of mind
Sometimes I forget just why I'm here
I'm not doing it for passion anymore
Oh I'm not doing it for me
I'm doing it for my next door neighbour
I'm doing it for my high school band
I'm doing it for all my friend's parents
Who thought my influence was bad
Yeah
I'm not inspired
I'm tested and I'm tired
While you're out makin your music
And I wanna get behind ya
I wanna work beside ya
But jealousy resides instead
Believe me I do try but I still
Hate it when my friends are successful
Oh, I deal with it in most unhealthy ways
We still hate it when our friends are successful
Oh we fall into a fit of jealous rage
Uh-huh
I wanna be the pop star in the family
I wanna make my gran and grandpa proud
To all of the regulars at work
I'll give them something to talk about
Uh
I'll do it for that lecturer who thought I was a flog
I'll do it for my ex-boyfriend who used to buy me grog
The girl that held my hair back when I spewed
Oh girl I'm doing it for you
Yeah
Oh I'll keep on writing, though
My patience has retired
The words that swarm around my head
And I wish that I was proud of, those
Who I do like the sound of
But jealousy strikes back again
Believe me I do try but I still
Hate it when my friends are successful
Oh, I deal with it in most unhealthy ways
We still hate it when our friends are successful
Oh, we fall into a fit of jealous rage
Uh-huh
I'm in my primary school newsletter
And I can't get excited
You put me on your resume
And I can't get excited
The word out on the street is me
And I can't get excited
I'm fuelled upon your jealousy
And I can't get excited, I still
Hate it when my friends are successful
Oh, I deal with it in most unhealthy ways
(Deal with it in most unhealthy)
We still hate it when our friends are successful
(Hate it, hate it, hate it)
Oh, we fall into a fit of jealous rage
(Fall into a fit of jealous rage)
Uh-huh
Oh
Oh
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na
