Story behind the song
I'd like to hear someone work on this who can perform it better. If you come up with something, lemme know. Thanks!
Lyrics
Nothing has turned out the way I thought it would
I'm hitting middle age and still misunderstood
if only i could - make good
on the promises i made in childhood
I'm not done yet If god would give me a sign
I'd lay it on the line try to cross the finish line
try to remember my youth and the energy
wish i had a guarantee
it weren't the college degree
i've come to terms now with disappointment
i think i've learned how
to proffer up a dissent
and to a lesser extent
maybe how to repent
and avoid - recurrent events
just fulfill the desire
i'm really on the wire
bogged down in the - quagmire
of people who manipulate
they never shoot you straight
and to what end
i can't comprehend - middle class
don't want to go out and spend
don't want to overextend
i'd rather transcend
that slave mentality
and the banality
i really miss the respect
from true humanity
it's what you can't get
without becoming upset
you're under constant threat
you can't get out of debt
bunch of zombies
who really can't see
the criminality
in what they've learned to forget
so there's the question see
how to get it back
i want to take up the slack
i want that human knack
i want the quality
i want frivolity
a human family living tight knit
i want the trust back
no more political hacks
that corporate off of our backs
won't pay another tax
i want to shake them awake
show them just what is at stake
right now my heart aches
can't take another mistake
i need solution
to fight pollution
a revolution
the execution
i need an answer
not a cancer
not another blur
not an entrepreneur
all the inhabitants
antidepressants
artificial amusements
i choose reality
and it's modality
not gonna run away
i'll fight another day
i might be tired now
but here's another vow
i'll figure something out
at the least i can shout
oh yeah i'll scream it out
'cause that is what it's about
and i'll be thinking about
reason beyond any doubt
i'll find another way
i'm gonna live now
my brain will help how
think i will sit down
at my computer display
though its potential decay
i'll take some time out to play
not gonna work it all day
i'll make a note or two
i'm gonna brainstorm
it's like an artform
and it will help to transform
throw off the defeat
make it something concrete
i'll tie it into a beat
a ton of things i can do
i hope that you're looking too
we're gonna still save the world
at least we'll give it a whirl
maybe we'll talk to our friends
maybe they'll join in
we're gonna broaden it up
we'll take the up side
then we can say that we tried
and hopefully that we defied
the monumental divide
the monolithic pride
the lost souls and
the sickness worldwide
not gonna hope it
gonna fix it
i'll take no more of their shit
nothing has turned out the way i thought it would
'm hitting middle age and still misunderstood
if only i could - make good
on the promises i made in childhood
I know that there's a way
it doesn't go away
i'll live another day
i'm hardly wasting away
i'm sure i'll think it out
learn what it's all about
i'm just now off the blocks
steppin out of the box
nothing has turned out the way i thought it would
'm hitting middle age and still misunderstood
if only i could - make good
on the promises i made in childhood
I know that there's a way
it doesn't go away
i'll live another day
i'm hardly wasting away
i'm sure i'll think it out
learn what it's all about
i'm just now off the blocks
steppin out of the box
