lyrics

What are we doing here?
We’ll pay our whole lives
For a handshake and congratulations

What are we doing here?
Subjecting ourselves
I feel less free than I did the summer before
“Maybe your freedom doesn’t lie in your surroundings"

You throw me a curveball
You say “life’s an accident
All we can do is try to be good friends”

I could get used to this
You say I won’t default
I don’t want automatic friends an automatic life

I feel like I’m living by default
Learning the rules of art
I feel like I’m living by default
Learning the rules of

These universities
All gears in a machine
Though they talk it up as higher learning
There is even ugliness behind the beautifully trimmed lawns

So what are we doing here
We’re waiting half our lives
For a black robe and a piece of paper
Last night my parents begged me to stay out every friday night

I feel like I’m living by default
Learning the rules of art
I feel like I’m living by default
Learning the rules of art

I know you’ll always beg me to party on the weekends
But you love your Friday nights I guess

You left me on the weekends
So I’ll party on the weekends
