lyrics

We’re counting heads
It’s hard to say
just how many went adrift
how many went astray
Some of our friends went along for the ride
lots more sat back and let their talents lapse, unrealized
We do our best but one has to contemplate
how much this lifestyle is a choice, how much of it is fate
Day by day, taking it in stride
hoping we can get there trying not to compromise
Whimsically navigating barely thought-out plans
We can’t agree to unreasonable demands
Strike out on our own
consequence be damned
Last to tow the line and mostly first to lend a hand
At best a life can be imbued with personalized meaning
At worst it’s just a farce and you’re a shitty human being
Take responsibility for what it means to you
And maybe you’ll be satisfied when your last day is through
