elders lyrics

When we were younger
There always seemed like some
Some perfect mold that we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someone's lied to me

'Cause I've been true and made good for you
And I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel to be like you?

Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Makin' it seem like you were so much more?
If you want to feel good, man
You've got accomplishments
Why the fuck don't you just do it yourself?

Man I've tried
Man I've tried while you just lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel to be like you?

'Cause I've been true, made good for you
And I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel to be like you?

Look at all the families now who
Don't talk and don't trust because of the way
The things have been done
When will you finally learn to leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us
