Expectations - Intellectual

[Intro]

My mum and dad got married when they were only nineteen

And so did my mum’s mum and her mum, now I’m numb to Following this ritual‚ stupid routine

When I was still a kid being brainwashed by another generation’s dream

When I was young I drew pictures in all of my books of nuclear families

And everywhere I looked I was led to believe

That that was how my life was supposed to be‚ and

When I think back through toys I had in the '90s

That plastic shit‚ each fucking doll teaching girls to bring up families

Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now

Oh honey, don’t you roll your eyes and say I’ll change my mind

When I grow up some more and I’ve settled down

I’ve had the same conversation about a hundred times

And you’ll say I’ll feel differently, I just haven’t met 'the one'

Well‚ what the fuck does that mean? You don’t know me

I think this conversation’s done

Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now

I don’t have to live

The way our parents did

I think I’ve had about enough of all these expectations

I don’t give a fuck

About the choices that you make

So don’t expect for me to fake an interest or to do the same

Or to do the same

Your bullshit expectations are boring to me now
