That when I was a young
Verse 1
Em
boy,
D
Em
about the age of five
D
My teachers taught me how to be
Em
D
the greatest man alive
Em
D
They told me I could change the world
Em
D
Be whatever I wanted to be
Em
D
There was no one in the world like me
Em
Every one of us was so unique
D
Em
D
Em
I'd not be an average man
D
Em
D
Em
No sir, I'd be no average man
So I had those big dreams,
D
Em
I had those big scales
D
Em
I had a reason to live,
D
Em
D
Em
an d I had some time to kill
D
Em
Yeah, but the war got louder still,
D
Em
yeah, the war got louder still
D
Em
Try to drown me out,
D
Em
try to break down my will
Get out my way, I ain't doing
D
Em
everything
D
I was thinking so much bigger than
Em
D
Em
the average man
D
They flag my feet with all
Em
these useless lists
D
I'm off curing cancer
Em
with these non -stop hits
D
So I was bitter towards
Em
D
Em
the average man
Then I hit my thirties like
a bird against the window
D
Em
I couldn't reconcile the
D
two disparate versions of me
Em
On the one hand was this man
in search of comfort
D
Em
And on the other was this meta
D
superhero I could be
Em
Maybe my eyes were never big
D
Maybe my head was small
Em
The man who knows his place may
D
be the greatest man of all
Em
I found freedom in obscurity
G
D
and purity in poverty
Em
While trying to be amazing in a world so
saturated with the laziness
It's blazing, it's exhausting,
D
Em
I wonder what it's costin' me
The price I paid for baby boomers,
D
Em
proppin' up my self -esteem
D
I should just let go of all these scripted,
Em
movie -drifted dreams
And seek solace in my species
that's an average man
D
Em
I pay admission like an average man
G
D
Em
I'll raise the family like an average man
D
Em
I'll rock the hairline of an average man
I'll binge on
Netflix like an average man
D
Em
I'll top a remix like an average man
G
D
Em
I crowdsource it like an average man
D
Em
D
I'm hyperbolic like an average man
Em
I only iterate like a
Do you understand?
