A         E             A        D
I was a young boy that had big plans.
A        E             D         E
Now I'm just another shitty old man.
A             E         A          D
I don't have fun and I hate everything.
     A          E           A
The world owes me, so fuck you.

Glory days don't mean shit to me.
I drank a six pack of apathy.
Life's a bitch and so am I.
The world owes me, so fuck you.

Chorus:
F#m       D           A         E
  Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m        D             A               E
  I had a young and optimistic point of view.
F#m       D           A         E
  Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
F#m        D             A               E
  I had a young and optimistic point of view.

I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my dad
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
The world owes me, so fuck you

The wife's a nag, and the kid's fucking up
I don't have sex, 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me, so fuck you

Chorus

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun, and I hate everything
The world owes me, so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six-pack of apathy
Life's a bitch, and so am I
The world owes me, so fuck you

The world owes me, so fuck you
The world owes me, so fuck you
