Fireworks Lyrics - Cardboard Castles - Watsky

It's hard to be living 

You gotta play the cards you were given 

You think it's simple but it goddamn isn't 

It's tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison 

And as you're hittin your prime 

People say you been committing a crime 

But I won't quit till I'm home 

I'll chip the limestone a bit at a time 

Wait! I'm a pale ass pale middle-class straight white male 

I won't have an alibi the day I fail 

Cause if I ever went to jail, Mom would pay my bail 

In a heartbeat 

Mom and Dad have given me a lot more than a pat on the back 

And I gotta thank 'em for loving me 

From the moment I was strapped in a Volvo car seat 

When I needed a pep talk 

I couldn't remember to wreck shop 

Writer's block, staring at my laptop desktop 

Or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop 

Shit in storage, living from a suitcase 

Thinking "this is how a silver spoon tastes?" 

Cause you can make a dream possible 

But it'll never be easy, no matter what you chase 

If you wanna poke fun then do so 

I'll do it for you, it's no crime 

I'm like if the dude from Juno grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme So tell me that I'm not a rapper 

Tell Rudolph he can't pull sleighs 

Tell pluto it's not a planet 

And he'll probably keep spinning in the same old way 

On and on, every day 

Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays 

You do it 'cause you love it like nothing else in the universe 

And fuck it, it's embedded in your DNA
