PLIGHT OF A FIRST WORLD 20-SOMETHING.
You told me what you want, told me what you need. You look pretty good and you're just my speed, and I know I'll be exaggerating on my resume.
You asked me for a little interview, but honey, we both that i'll never do
cause I've never done this job before.
We're all grateful for a foot in the door, but now we want something more.
All my friends are looking for better jobs, better jobs. We're getting sick of living in a box, in a box.
Poke some holes in the top.
Some of us went to school. Some just learned from the world. Some are occupying Boston. Some have rich uncles, but either way we're leaning something everyday.
And I know plenty of folks with mad skills in their field, but no they ain't complaining, they're just keeping it real. We can't all work for non-profits that allow us to pay our bills and are also creatively satisfying.
Maybe we should quit our bitching and just give it time. Or maybe take up a life of crime
Despite a 9 to 5 job at the end of the day I want to stay up late.
At the end of the day, I want to stay up late.
