Billy - Cassette

Tell a younger me his gonna be alright
Going back in time
Go and hit rewind
Play the cassette
Play the cassette
Play the cassette

Every line wrote no regret
I couldn't give a fuck if you get upset
Your full of regret we're getting older
There's a disconnect who's liable?
I'm another pupil following the cycle
Going in circles should I be grateful?
Another verse scribbled
Looking for my potential
I'm in no need of a medal
Different people I'm not looking for trouble
It's fundamental
Certain people would love to see my downfall
So they can say I told you so
Another day of school teacher's a bunch of fools
Write me off the doctor said I needed help with my speech
A specialist I just had nothing to say
All my life I've proven people wrong
Even people around me yeah
Don't give a fuck about my well being
You just wanna be nosey
You wanna know the in's and out's you'd love to see me fail
Friends house not allowed I was sneaking out
Pouring lighter fluid on that cotton wool
I'm the only one who stepped up
If you done your bit it be a different song fuck

Tell a younger me his gonna be alright
Going back in time
Go and hit rewind
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah

A silent kid put me in special needs great
Now everybody think's I'm retarded
Defeated by 14 conflicted
I'm a smart kid poor attendance
Look at what you created I'll leave you all divided
I gave myself encouragement
Thanks for robbing my childhood
I got your habits any feeling disregarded
Where's my respect?
You can't be mad I'm stating facts
No security intimidation I'm writing this out of anger damn

Tell a younger me his gonna be alright
Going back in time
Go and hit rewind
Play the cassette

You got me to trust nobody
Put yourself first
Threatened by my independence
I'll be the opposite when I'm a parent
Better with age I worry it's too late
Ignored behaviour
Another excuse
Another form of abuse
Wasted youth
play the blame game
Don't worry I'm alright
Act like your hard done by
I wouldn't hold my breath for another lullaby
Go talk behind my back
That's your habitat
I understand
Therapy through a notepad yeah
You cant be mad
All I'm doing is stating facts
All I'm doing is stating fact
William

Tell a younger me his gonna be alright
Going back in time
Go and hit rewind
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette yeah
Play the cassette
