Your Own Shoes
I didn't like where I was living
So I went away and did some thinking
Started to get my things packed
And then I had my car jacked
It was now or never
Now things are better than ever

You can eat pizza when you want to
Can nap all day with no one nagging you
Of course we got them bills to pay
And I'm sure as hell I'll find a way
But until then I will do whatever I choose

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do

Don't get me wrong it can be stressful
Now you have to make your own phone calls
And when a salesman comes knocking at your door
You can't hand them over to your mum no more

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do
And life can get hard
But it's hard anywhere
So why not be sad
In a place you don't care?

You can stay up all night
And sleep up until two
Just remember to clean behind your ears
(And then I just go on for a bit about nothing)

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do
