lyrics

Where did this sense of entitlement come from?
No matter how hard I try I just cant figure it out
A society full of narcissistic sociopaths
Rewarded with their very own TV shows
I wish that I was born a part of the greatest generation
Instead I'm here trying not to drown

But the complacency surrounds me
It surrounds me
I just cant take it all when it surrounds me
It surrounds me
All this complacency that surrounds me

Whatever happened to gentlemen, courtesy, and trying hard to be more than just average?
Like its been said, chivalry is dead
I try my best to be what nobody else is willing to be
An exception to the generation of "ME"

No one ever stops to think about what they are doing
Nowadays it's all about instant gratification
And how many notches can you put in that bedpost
When did getting wasted on a Tuesday night become the norm?
When did I turn into the outcast for choosing not to fuck with my own head?
Why does this negative state of mind always eat me alive?

Whatever happened to gentlemen, courtesy, and trying hard to be more than just average?
Like its been said, chivalry is dead
I try my best to be what nobody else is willing to be
An exception to the generation of "ME"

It surrounds me
It surrounds me
I just cant take it all when it surrounds me
It surrounds me
All this complacency that surrounds me

Whatever happened to gentlemen, courtesy, and trying hard to be more than just average?
Like its been said, chivalry is dead
I try my best to be what nobody else is willing to be
An exception to the generation of "ME"
