It's definitely quite a teenage lyric, sort of 'everything is shit!'.

Fits with the immaturely macho cock rock attitude (in the best way possible) of the song itself though.

yep. but also the sentiments are all wrong. not from a msp-at-the-time point of view. but, well, there are so many things to see and so many places to go. and i'm trying to see them all! it's a good thing no?

I really, really hate that line too. That's the only line that jumps out at me as one I'm not happy with.

I wait for the Godfather line in Future. It helps me get through the song! (Partially joking!)

Gosh I really rather like 'Future'. Nick's voice isn't that bad and the tune's ok. The Godfather line does make me smirk though. I snorted out loud the first time I heard it.

The problem is, I love the song, but the godfather line really puts me off!

Yeah, I love the rest of the song, but... that line still makes me laugh sometimes. It just jumps out at you

The Godfather 3 sucked. Godfather 2 was fantastic. Classic, great film.

I don't know, I have nothing against the film, I just don't think the line fits in it's just a bad lyric. It doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps if I'd seen the film, it'd make more sense, I don't know.
