sometimes, the only way out is another dead end

we spend our lives looking for something to live for
looking for a dream to chase and a path to walk
just so we dont have to follow the corporate road
and play it safe and end up like all the headfucked, lifeless adults we see now
but you’ll find out some day that
the system does not allow you to live your dreams
the system only allows you to lay down and play it safe
youth spent studying, and the rest of your life spent working
for something that you only have to come to terms with
but nothing gold comes without having you to put up a fight
i’ll always remain oblivious to those naysayers who told me to be realistic
and told me that i can never go far with what im doing and the way im living
how far do you want me to go?
sure, we all have responsibilities when we grow up
but responsibilities only come with what you choose to have
i have learnt so much
so much more from the hours i spent fucking around and wasting time
than what you’ve spent behind those textbooks
dont get me wrong, you can go ahead and spend your youth
always waiting for the holidays, always waiting for an escape
lay down, play dead, take it in the ass
because they’ve told you that if you listen, you’d have a good future
and i’d do things my way
