Lyrics

A student of Confucius feelin’ kinda useless - not got a job
It’s obvious to some of us
And ordinary people think it’s kinda odd

The sun has subsided behind the horizon but I don’t mind
It’s safe to assume there’s room for improvement but of what kind?

Revolving and dissolving
I tore myself in two
Then rang a random helpline
To ask what I should do

They just said buddy
Quit while you’re ahead
They just said buddy oh o-oh
Quit while you’re ahead

I tampered with the evidence
Wiped away the finger prints and shredded files
Which is another to say
I couldn’t face the music - now I’m in denial

You keep on persisting
I’ll end up confessing to any crime
Nah I haven’t been to prison
But that doesn’t mean I dunno how to do hard time

Go easy on yourself they say
Why don’t you come clean?
You never done those things at all
It probably was a dream

Come on now buddy
Quit while you’re ahead
Come on now buddy oh o-oh
Quit while you’re ahead

Come on now buddy
Quit while you’re ahead
You said buddy well I highly recommend
You better quit while you’re ahead
