Coming of Age

Another gloomy Monday shows its face And the instapot coffee's lost its taste And the six o'clock train's always running late But if I stop now I know I'm never gonna make it Back to the tragedy, laugh like a comedy, Rogaine society, dial-up lobotomy Nine to five fantasize about the end of the day, Just to wake up and do it all again I should have known better than to think that this could change I should have seen the pattern, how disconnected I became Climbing that corporate ladder If you need somebody to take the blame You can call me a quitter But I'm calling it a coming of age A-ok. I'll be ok Ok ok. I'll be a-ok Back to the rat race run in place I just spin my wheel till my my next lunch break And hope it gets better with a five cent raise But I can't stop until I get paid I don't know which is worse, the commute or the hearse I don't think that it's worth it anymore Sick of living for the paycheck Blow it on the weekend I'm giving up and loading up the briefcase I should have known better than to think that this could change I should have seen the pattern, how disconnected I became Climbing that corporate ladder If you need somebody to take the blame You can call me a quitter But I'm calling it a coming of age A-ok. I'll be ok Ok ok. I'll be a-ok You don't know what you don't know Until you notice nobody knows what they're doing It's all just a long shot con to get what you want You make the rules and you get to break them You set the goalpost Write the scoreboard You get to choose when you get to go home You walk the tightrope Let the cliff go You get to choose if you want to just go home I should have known better than to think that this could change I should have seen the pattern, how disconnected I became Climbing that corporate ladder If you need somebody to take the blame You can call me a quitter But I'm calling it a coming of age You don't know what you don't know Until you notice nobody knows what they're doing It's all just a long shot con to get what you want You make the rules and you get to break them
