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

Saw these guys at the Space in Salem OR. Damn great set, they wear fruit costumes and play some danceable, absolute funk. Highly recommend. Katy & the Null Sets
Some more sweet OR folks; I love playing shows with them! "Shadow Wolves" has one of the best shout choruses ever. You will want to sing it at the top of a mountain or something Katy & the Null Sets
