Grazie Ma No Grazie

What a sad story, I had low expectations
And you already know how it ends, given where it starts
You want people to understand you
You love her like she loves you back
And you’ve tried more than a few times like the Jalisse
But persistence is never really classy
Some conversations need to be taken with a grain of salt or
They just provoke loud laughter
And you expect it but every time it surprises you
Look at their faces as if that’s not enough

Thanks, but no thanks
They pretend but they know
The deeper it is, the less it pays
Almost always better to stay on the surface: Lifebuoy
The answers they give you seem cookie-cutter
So I’ll keep my guard up
Two steps back for every step forward
You should go to work
And not get beaten down in the streets
Thanks, but no thanks
These people don’t do shit, I support them
All with my taxes

Thanks, but no thanks
You should pay less attention to feelings
Because they’re never good investments
We should organize a reunion like a class dinner
Thanks, but no thanks
Thanks, but no o o o
Really, thanks but

There are those who don’t know how to write anymore
Don’t know how to talk
Don’t know which words need
An asterisk in the plural
There are those who don’t know how to laugh anymore
Don’t know how to joke
And want tradition when confusion is everywhere
Eh, today it is like this, who knows about tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, to-to-tomorrow
Maybe I’ll figure out human beings
Who kisses their kids on the mouth
And there are those who kiss their dogs on the mouth
And how trendy is the victimhood of those who attack
But say they’re defending themselves

There are those who say you can’t say anything anymore
Then they talk all the time, at least be consistent
At least for this time, there are those who still give you rope
And there are those who’ve lost their memory and wish
It would come back as if that’s not enough

Thanks, but no thanks
You should go to work
And not get beaten down in the streets
Thanks, but no thanks
These people don’t do shit, I support them
All with my taxes
Thanks, but no thanks
You should pay less attention to feelings
Because they’re never good investments
We should organize a reunion
Like a class dinner
Thanks, but no thanks
Thanks, but no o o o
Really, thanks but no

Sad story, low expectations
There are those who disappear until the waters calm
(What a sad story)
There are those who nod between clichés, winning
Those who always surprise with their hands down

Thanks, but no thanks
Thanks, but no o o o
Really, thanks but no thanks
