lyrics
When 2:30 rolls around in the afternoon
And some fucked up kids have nothing to do
Yea baby, let's lay off some steam
We all know life is not what it seems
We got a full tank of gas and nothing to lose
Mom and Dad are playing the blues
We're all gonna work in factories
So we might as well go and make some memories
Hey I noticed your grade point average for
this semester is down 1/10th of a point
You're only in the 86th percentile of your class now
You don't want to end up work at McDonalds the rest of your life
Why don't you sign up for a few more extracurriculars
You're gonna need those if you want to attend a prestigious
University you'll be paying off for the next 30 years
You want to have a good life don't you?
You want to be on easy street right?
Your older brother got into a really great school
And has an impressive 401k
I don't know what his dreams are and I don't care
I didn't have the same type of opportunities when I was your age
Your grandfather didn't strangle a dozen nazis with his bare hands
So you can get a B minus in trigonometry
Looks like were cogs in the machine
Our souls are dead but the drugs are cheap
And the question everyone ignores
Is what exactly are saving ourselves for?
We won't face it, we wont embrace it
Its easier to forget
Watch the years pass living a lie
And not face the fact that were gonna die
Food for thought
We invent this story that death is very similar to falling asleep
They're in a better place we say, eternal dreamscapes lie ahead
When you go to a funeral and see a body displayed
As if it's taking an afternoon nap
All we're really doing is providing an explanation for our inner child
We are socially incapable of talking about the reality of our demise
And have the audacity to lecture children on what life is about
A life of affliction
How's that for some doublethink
You know everybody worships something
Take a hard look inside your soul
There's no atheist in a fox hole
My generation better come correct
Nihilism is born of neglect
You'd best believe the stories are true
Those white lies will catch up to you
Im still trying
And I keep pushing
I can't seem
To keep up
They will catch up to you
Yea, they will catch up to you
And if you think you're born to lose
The meek will inherit the earth soon
