lyrics

got a job, it pays ok
you don't mind it staying that way
it's all part of a brilliant short term plan
save the money that you make
hoping you can quit one day
you'll do it soon, while you're young, while you can

but a vision aint as vivid as you'd like
when offered overtime to work the overnight
keep the job, at least while money's always tight
put up with sleeping through the reaping morning light

weeks and weeks go by so slow
and by now you've come to know
that money given's far better than money earned
jump in front of a taxi. cause a wreck
cash some fat insurance check
you need to rest, allot some time, grow and learn

but a vision aint as vivid as you'd like
when offered overtime to work the overnight
a reminder: this is necessary stress
one needs a job way the hell more than one needs rest

back to second guessing through the night
premonitions much too obvious to be right
being alone with only you, try as you might
you're still caught sleeping through the reaping

buried in the tablet, so complacent
always leaving early, what a statement
you can see a bar now from the station
opposite directions are adjacent
similar scenarios, escape them
limitless scenarios, escape them
