Validation, as a Rule

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m the trouble
The fly-down, snot-nosed loser of late
It follows, yeah, it follows
Oh, the past was fun, yeah
But stupid fun
With flailing accidental success
A time that feels so trivial
In the rear-view
And I didn’t give a fuck
What anybody said
Oh, no I didn’t give a fuck
About babes or brands or bread
It was me, my Amy, and ego makes three
But now I’m thirsty
So thirsty
And although jealousy’s my fuel
Validation, as a rule, is what I crave me
Ah, oh yes, I crave me, ah!
Won’t someone… Praise me?!
I’m so thirsty
(He's a thirsty bitch)
Where am I now?
In a losing game of solitaire with my self-esteem
And embracing an emotional sine wave
That’s dripping too close to zero
Fucking depression!
I’ve been anxious since the tender
Of always
But who cares, I’m gonna die young
And I don’t give a fuck
Let 'em think what they will think
You betcha, I don’t give a fuck
I’ll just have another drink
And fade, oh, I will fade away…
Oh my God!
I’m so thirsty
So thirsty
And although jealousy’s my fuel
Validation, as a rule, is what I crave me
Ah, oh yes, I crave me, ah!
Won’t someone… Praise me?!
I’m so —
Hungry!
It makes me risky
Feel like a monkey
Funky and — frisky!
I need a win
You are a sick man
With an angry heart
You have black goo
Where your blood has ought to start
You are irrelevant
You are irrelevant
Be like the elephant:
Don’t forget that?
Yet there’s appeal in worthlessness
The thrill of being betrayed by your fate
The ultimate neglected prodigy
Oh, but what is worse than anonymity?
The negation of your negation
It means your life was all but futile
A death for the dead
And yes, I five a fuck if people know my name!
Oh well, I guess I give a fuck
About friends and fans and fame
Is it so wrong to want to be screwed
Just because you’re a star?
I’m so -!
Praise me, praise me, praise me
Oh, you’ve got to, no you ought to
Praise me, praise me, praise me
Oh, you gotta pat me! Rub me!
And all that kind of talk
But most of all
Won’t you tell me
…I rock!
