Castaway Songtext
von Arrested Youth

I got on a livestream to see my friends
Hoping this day would finally end
I′m sitting in my room, screen in my face
These are the memories I can't erase

You say the youth are all messed up
But you′d be too if you lived like us
You seem to have time to always judge
So make yourself useful and pack my lunch
(I'm too old to change)

I'm a castaway
I don′t want to listen to a word you say
′Cause I don't want to be another wack cliché
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

You say that at my age you had a house and a kid
But I don′t even know what a credit score is
Come to think about it, do I even exist?
There's so much going on right now, its hard to dismiss


Still I solemnly swear that I′ll get that big house
Yeah, I solemnly swear that I'll figure it out
I know it′s kinda rocky these days but I'll admit
That I could probably re-adjust my attitude a bit
(But what's gonna happen to me?)

I′m a castaway
I don′t wanna listen to a word you say
'Cause I don′t wanna be another wack cliché
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

I'm a castaway
And I know there′s gonna be a price to pay
But I don't wanna have it any other way
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

I feel like Tom Hanks screaming Wilson all day
I almost forgot my name
Tell me why should I try
When you always deny
Everything that I say?
We′ll get it right one day

I'm a castaway
I don't want to listen to a word you say
′Cause I don′t want to be another wack cliché
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah


I'm a castaway
And I know there′s gonna be a price to pay
But I don't wanna have it any other way
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
