Proud and Well

Life's a lot like dodgem cars The people you run into push you in a certain direction But it's only over It's only over when your time's up A simple yes or no is somewhat deceiving Say yes once, and you'll feed the one-armed bandit your whole life So many variables compress your liberty to choose No work on the coast, vice versa, lose-lose I'm behind in my career path That's alright, 'cause I've got different perspectives I wish I could pickpocket some time And if I could, I wouldn't know what to spend it on Doing what you love is theoretically sound But I can't find that, and I've turned my life pockets inside out There is a fork in the road But this one's got a hundred prongs And I keep picking the wrong fuckin' one I got a puzzle to run As big as the sun I stand there quivering in my own shell But I'm proud and well Sometimes, I spin the wheel of fortune And hope in good time, I land on something sparkly Other times, my logic prevails And carefully explains my likelihood of failure Indecision, what fad today? Condescending peers who've long found their way There's no shame in that, and I never said there was So you can fuck right off, and I'll stay right here 'Cause I'm happy with my life, and I'm proud of what I do And I'll keep not knowing, 'cause that what keeps me true Yeah, that's what keeps me true I've got a puzzle to run As big as the sun I stand there quivering in my own shell But I'm proud and well Yeah, that's what keeps me true I've got a puzzle to run As big as the sun I stand there quivering in my own shell I'm proud and well
