Story de Edna's Goldfish

You told me a story of how things used to be
You scold me it's boring
I don't pay any attention

I'm sinking I'm thinking I'm drinking
It's myself that I'm second guessing
I'm yelling I'm shouting I shut up

When will I learn my lesson??

Now I play by the rules
I can't say that they're fair
I move ahead to fall back
I don't get anywhere
