In life, you got to do things to set yourself apart from your peers
You need to identify the qualities that separate you from those around you
After all, isn't that what most people spend they lives trying to accomplish?
Wouldn't we all want somebody, somewhere later on down the line to remember the things that were different about us?
Don't you understand? The more you fit in, the less you're noticed ...
Whether the people who talk bad about you know it or not
They really save you from obscurity every time they mention your name
You see, anytime anybody ever talks about you, either directly or indirectly
They put a quarter in your immortal meter
They keep you alive-- whether they want to or not
They practically do the opposite of what they want to do
Which is forget you.
I dedicate this song to the day
When you motherfuckers finally figure it out
And the day that you bury me and erase the memory of me
Here lies a man who became forgotten to the world
In his search for the key for immortality
He never made an impact
He changed nothing
And his words meant nothing
He never contributed to the game
He never gave you anything to talk about
He never existed and he never made a difference
His name was nobody!
