It's getting harder every day to get out of bed
The alarm clock doesn't phase me and it's going off again
Late to work; I punch in
I hear my manager yelling and it doesn't end
Fuck, is it time to leave yet?
I don't make end's meet
and everyday is a repeat
It's almost the end of the week
and for now that's enough to keep me going
I don't have a whole lot to spare
but it's the weekend and I don't care
Just give me a time and place and I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
Stuck in traffic and I'm late to class
Today's lesson: don't be an idiot or you won't pass
I can never remember anything and my work is always half-assed
I hate my professor because he talks too fast
This classroom constantly smells like gas
School isn't for me
But it makes my parents happy
It's almost the end of the week
and for now that's enough to keep me going
I don't have a whole lot to spare
but it's the weekend and I don't care
Just give me a time and place and I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
(I'm only 21) My life hasn't even begun
(I'm only 21)So fuck it, here's to having fun
(I'm only 21) I'm still young and having fun
I don't have a whole lot to spare
but it's the weekend and I don't care
Just give me a time and place and I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there

Waiting List

I always hear the shit that you pull
Every story becomes more repetitive and dull
How can one be so fucking shallow?
I didn't think it was possible
You lie
And that's what gets you by
You really think you're one of a kind
Convinced that you're sent down from above to better our lives
Please, get the fuck out of my sight
You think how you live your life is okay
And you'll be forgiven because every night you pray
If Hell really does exist
I'm sure you're on the waiting list
The worst part of it all is that you're family
But nothing you say will get to me
At least I know I can be happy
And I don't need a God to tell me to be
You lie
And that's what gets you by
You really think you're one of a kind
Convinced that you're sent down from above to better our lives
Yeah, try in another life
You think how you live your life is okay
And you'll be forgiven because every night you pray
If Hell really does exist
I'm sure you're on the waiting list

It's crazy that you think you could fit the role
You write your riffs just for show
In hopes that a certain crowd will follow
But you've already dug yourself into a hole
You've compiled so many ideas but no direction
What makes you think they will listen?
And you expect me to lead the way
When we're never on the same page
I play music because it makes me happy
But you've always been so goddamn greedy
Your way of thinking isn't healthy
and it's brought you to your knees
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving
"Write a song like that, but 6 more times.
You'll be sure to live a successful life."
I'd rather sell all of my equipment
Than give into your bullshit
You've compiled so many ideas but no direction
What makes you think they will listen?
And you expect me to lead the way
When we're never on the same page
I play music because it makes me happy
But you've always been so goddamn greedy
Your way of thinking isn't healthy
and it's brought you to your knees
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving
I should've seen it from the start
Because now it's all falling apart
But it's time to move on
And I'll continue writing my own songs
I play music because it makes me happy
But you've always been so goddamn greedy
Your way of thinking isn't healthy
and it's brought you to your knees
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving
You're begging
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving
