lyrics

It’s a little deflating
Returning to the nest after flying off so far
It’s a little bit shaming
Picking up old habits after learning about who you are
Vices you had when you didn’t know better

I think we may be crazy
Placing all our worth in what our Alma Mater says we are
I think we may be hasty
Writing out our eulogies for the cruelties of the working week
When so many others have it worse, when so many other have it worse

If we could do what we love for some money
Why would we work part time jobs in our twenties?
We’re not entitled, but we are impatient.
We’re not hopeless, we just don’t place faith in
The idea that growing up means giving in.

It’s a little frustrating
When those with benefits decide that what we do is real or fake
It’s infuriating
When dollar signs destroy piece of mind & dictate who is qualified
Good enough for nothing but not worth something good

They say the world is changing
The onus is on us to either break it for better or worse
We can keep creating
Anthems of failure, poems of potential & self portraits of success
Play the game, stay safe or rewrite the rules

If we could do what we love for some money
Why would we work part time jobs in our twenties?
We’re not entitled, but we are impatient.
We’re not hopeless, we just don’t place faith in
The idea that growing up means giving in.
