Story behind the song
A songwriting assignment, to write a song that wasn't slow or sad. Apparently a daunting task for a songwriting class.
Lyrics
There's more to life Than the nine to five The punchclock lies No matter how you work it You got mouths to feed Yeah, you gotta eat Pay for your TV No matter what, it's just not worth it So sing the anthem Of the transit generation We'll fight the skies We've all got fire in our eyes And that's worth more than any Manufactured lives [chorus] We'll take our time and We'll make our minds up About what we're doing We can't define it Strength in defiance The clock is tickin', But oh, we're not ready to go You're healthy but For your morphine lungs Just a little high strung And getting scared the pills aren't working You got your Dramamine You got your kerosene And tearing at the seams It's not enough to say you're worried So sing the anthem Of the transit generation We'll fight the skies We've all got fire in our eyes And that's worth more than any Manufactured lives [chorus]
