lyrics

despite the odds, survived my youth
now I don't know what I'm meant to do
I'm half formed and overdone
I'm not yet what I could become

stuck in flux and held in between
I'm a future has been human being
on a fast track bullet train to oblivion

I should be out looking for ways
to earn my keep, a job that pays
oh but it's no fun in the modern age
working for minimum wage

there's a big bright future for me
in entry level service industries
when I die I want to be buried with my name tag on

when I wake up in the mornings now
well I've got no place to be
no-one is counting on me to pull through
but I'm anything but free

I guess I need some direction
other than down
I've gotta find something to turn my mind to
if I'm gonna make it out of here alive

should be out looking for ways
to earn my keep, a job that pays
oh but it's no fun in the modern age
working for minimum wage

there's a big bright future for me
in entry level service industries
when I die I want to be buried with my name tag on
