The Adviser Songtext
von My Ugly Clementine

I′m not here to please
A man or my mom
Or the friend that doesn't care,
Or my boss or my bank,
Or my teacher from 6th grade
Or my dad or my cat,
The slogan from that add
Not you not you,
Not even my 10 year old self

I′m a runner while I like to stay in bed
Overthinker, although I'm bored of you
And yet I do it all
My head's a mess,
Others′ needs seem clear to me always
To put me first is a thing I don′t know how to do
At all, at all


So I keep pleasing others
Forget about myself 'cause it feels good, ′cause it feels good
To please others for yourself

So I keep pleasing others
Forget about myself 'cause it feels good, ′cause it feels good
To please others for yourself

I can't listen to myself anymore,
Giving out advice I myself ignore
You′re all just taking shifts in being the adviser
Don't have to be smart, don't need to be wiser

I′m not here to please
Cis men or my mom
Or the friend that doesn′t care
Or my boss or my bank,
Or my teacher from 10th grade
Or my dad or my cat,
The slogan from that add,
Not you not you,
Not even my 10 year old self
