Lyrics:
A loser kid
Firing boredom from the front row seat
Caught a thought and put it on repeat
An armchair hero with an all-night tan
My own medicine
Where I come from
Nothing changes if it takes too long
It isn't much but she likes my face
And now I'll be looking for a new disgrace
No shit
And ? boy
He's got the answers nearly every time
Just shot a chance over the dead ball line
The best intentions were the worst mistakes
My own medicine
Where I come from
It's always a battle with the favourite son
It isn't much but she likes my face
I guess it's a compliment that won't replace
No shit
Bridge:(E A #Cm B)
O-oh
Oh o-oh
Oh o-oh
Oh o-oh ooo-oh
And here we stand
Is it courage or a lack of sense
Declare war or in self-defence
And protect our pride, pride, pride
Where I come from
Underneath the rock out in the middle of the storm
It isn't much but she says she's glad
I guess it's assurance that I've never had
No shit
Where I come from
You blink for a second and the whole thing's gone
It isn't much but she likes my face
I guess it's a compliment they won't replace
No shitting meeee
