I'm sick and tired of everybody
Thinkin they know what's best for me and
Maybe god wanted me to be
Nothing special.
I'm past the point of breakin in I'm
Not sure if I'm a gonna make it
I'll keep this gift from breakin
as long as you believe.

I remember walking in the park on a lovely sunday afternoon.
I won't give up on you she said
Don't be so afraid (so afraid)
I'll maintain as long as you believe in.... me...
(Greetings from the bottom, How many times I wanted to be a part of your complacency)

I'm sick and tired of everybody
Thinkin they know what's best for me and
Maybe god wanted me to be
Nothing special.
I'm past the point of breakin in I'm
Not sure if I'm a gonna make it
I'll keep this gift from breakin
as long as you believe.

This is the part of the song where I just don't give a fuck about what you want
What you heard, what you thought
I won't give up that easily
Hold me in your tenderness.
over rated, so ungrateful is me.
(Greetings from the bottom, How many times I wanted to be a part of this fucking machine!)

I'm sick and tired of everybody
Thinkin they know what's best for me and
Maybe god wanted me to be
Nothing special.
I'm past the point of breakin in I'm
Not sure if I'm a gonna make it
I'll keep this gift from breakin
as long as you believe.

As long as you belive.
Don't be afraid
As long as you believe.

I'm sick and tired of everybody
Thinkin they know what's best for me and
Maybe god wanted me to be
Nothing special.
I'm past the point of breakin in I'm
Not sure if I'm a gonna make it
I'll keep this gift from breakin
as long as you believe.

So sick and tired...
So sick and tired...
So sick and tired... nothing special

    General Comment:Lawcere has the lyrics right :] And it is, "god" and not "I". and also at the first time it's: "Greetings from the part of me that doesn't wanna be part of your complacency" at least that's what it says in the book that came with the CD...

    As for meaning, I guess I agree with the second post...

    General Comment:I believe the lyrics are...

    "I remember walking in the park with my life a sunny afternoon"

    "Greetings from the part of me that doesn't want to be a part of this fucking machine"

    Among other lines... Does anyone have the booklet, or something?

    General Comment:they are defs from mississauga
    streetsville. they went to iona.

    and the lyrics written here are a bit off.

    "I remember walking in the park with my lover on a sunday afternoon.
    I won't give up on you she said
    Don't be so afraid (so afraid)
    I'll maintain as long as you believe in.... me...
    (Greetings from the part of me that doesn't want to be part of your complacency)"

    "i'm past the point of breakin and i'm)

    "greetings from the part of me that doesnt want to be a part of this fucking machine"

    as long as you believe.

    I'm pretty sure those are the right lyrics.

    General Comment:Really, I heard they were from Mississauga, Ontario. I was looking at a list of all the famous people/bands/athletes from there, and IllScarlett was on the list. I'm sure of it. And on TV they say they are from Mississauga. Ah! And they named their band after a street in Mississauga. I'm pretty sure... unless I dreamed it up.

    General Comment:Actually, they're from Kingston...and this is their second CD...the first one, EPdemic is SO much better. This song is probably about the reality of growing up, and being under the influence of all the authorities in one life. He's saying he can keep going as long as "you" (girlfriend?) believes in him.
