Remember When

from Late Convert by Sam Nabi

lyrics

Remember when we were kids
Hanging off the monkey bars, fighting over trading cards
Remember when we were kids
Passing notes in science class, asking if you like me back

Getting off my high horse for the hell of it
Got my ego oh so delicate
Realise that the game's so full of shit
Saw the trap and I walked right into it

We had to go and grow up like Manhattan did
Settle in a slow rut like a masochist
Living in corporate torture and I don't fit
I want my childhood back so I up and quit

Freedom isn't what you thought – white picket fence
It's easy living till you lose your innocence
No rest for the educated, implicated in systemic prejudice
Makes me nauseated

I thought I really made it, got a job and graduated
Now that I'm here, I'm made aware of all the hatred
And we just have to face it, we're getting back to basics
Too many rape cases going uncorroborated

Now wasn't life so simple in the olden days?
No that's a trap, let me focus up your rosy gaze
You thought I'd let you off the hook with a chorus break
No, I just mentioned rape, yeah, we're going there okay?

To every boy who calls his friend a little bitch
You oughta know we've been co-opted into privilege
We're taught to put down feminine characteristics
Devalue women's work just to prove how big your dick is
