Overrated
Days of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worn out and faded
The weakness starts to show
They've created the generation
That we know
Washed up and hated
The system moves so slow
They give us answers
To questions they don't even know

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

Used up and Jaded
You're thinking way too slow
So we're creating answers
On our own
We can't relate
To what you think you know
And you create
The problems that will never
Go away

You made it
You played it




Your shit is overrated
Your shit is over

Three Days Grace - Overrated - Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worn out and faded
The weakness starts to show
They've created the generation
That we know
Washed up and hated
The system moves too slow
They give us answers
To questions they don't even know

[Chorus]

You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

[Verse 2]
Used up and jaded

And you create
The problems that will never
Go away

[Chorus]
