lyrics

put on all your epaulets
and scribble down some epithets
the laundry list of lost regrets
and trivial fact findings

just think of all the money spent
the seasons of your discontent
arrived and never really went
perennial bad tidings

so now you’re only waiting for the world
to catch up to you and celebrate their find
‘til you’re free and you’re paid to do
whatever comes to mind
or get left behind

with education incomplete
and no one falling at your feet
no victories just bittersweet
and hope is just a hurdle

an opportunity awaits
somewhere within the book of fates
to take your place among the greats
in pantheons eternal

but now you’re only waiting for the world
to catch up to you and celebrate their find
‘til you’re free and you’re paid to do
whatever comes to mind
or get left behind

it seems so clear but you can’t see
you say “the problem can’t be me
‘cos i know for sure
that everyone else is wrong”

and now you’re only waiting for the world
to catch up to you and celebrate their find
‘til you’re free and you’re paid to do
whatever comes to mind
or get left behind
