about

a song about the post-high school search for identity and resistance of the world's pressure to force you into any cookie-cutter lifestyle

lyrics

LYRICS
Someone just the other day (asked me for advice)
And I was tempted to say (some saucy reply)
Do I really look like a man (a man who knows shit)
Do I resemble a source of good information?
I'm just making this up as I go along
Still trying to find chords that'll finish this song
Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I get it oh so wrong
Everyone's worryin' about (the meaning of life)
But it's easy to figure out, (it rhymes with "survive")
I don't need a script to react, so please understand
It's a total compliment if you tell me I have no plan
I'm just making this up as I go along
Still trying to find words that'll finish this song
Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I get it oh so wrong
World, what do you want from me?
Just a semblance of sanity.
I'd happy to appease, just point me in that general direction please
Oh, what will it take to find genuine peace of mind?
I think it just takes time. You've got yours, and I've got mine.
Everyone's got a unique genetic design
So necessarily, we've got different minds
If you flatter my point of view, your chances augment
Of being someone I consider cool and call a friend
I'm just waking on up after sleeping so long
I was better off dreamin' so snooze the alarm
I don't know what I did last night But I meant no harm
