"If I don't try then I can't fail. |
| [00:42.77] |
If I don't show my heart then no one can break it." |
| [01:02.74] |
Everyone today, it seems, is a musician |
| [01:05.55] |
A starving artist is a popular position |
| [01:08.43] |
Why not a driver or a cook or a physician? |
| [01:11.59] |
Why do you work for free when you can earn a salary? |
| [01:17.41] |
"Hey man, they've done it all already and, besides, your band will never make a penny." |
| [01:22.85] |
But I don't wanna slave away the days until I'm dead |
| [01:28.86] |
And I don't wanna lock my dreams in chains around my bed |
| [01:35.27] |
I know it seems crude, but it's something to do while the reaper is waiting at the door to take me |
| [02:04.90] |
There's a thousand records put out everyday |
| [02:07.80] |
Most are never heard or quickly thrown away |
| [02:10.33] |
Those that get a spin get old within a day |
| [02:13.70] |
All that sweat and blood headlining the dump |
| [02:20.20] |
All this culture, man, it's self referential |
| [02:23.45] |
All this content, I'm told it's all essential |
| [02:26.70] |
It's not slowing down, no, it's growing exponential |
| [02:29.84] |
What you rowing for? You'll never reach that shore |
| [02:35.83] |
"Hey man, they've done it all already and, besides, your band will never make a penny." |
| [02:41.01] |
But I don't wanna slave away the days until I'm dead |
| [02:47.28] |
And I don't wanna lock my dreams in chains around my bed |
| [02:53.78] |
I do what I do cuz someday we'll lose to the reaper waiting at the door to take us |
| [03:26.45] |
...ironic t-shirts...on ironic people... |
