lyrics

Born.
Slapped on yr bum. “What the fuck?”
Absorb. Helpless mimic. Attach to face
Ricochet. Wait. Indoctrinate. No fate. Education.
Atoms split apart. Didn’t ask to be here.

Chorus
No we don’t fit the template
No, I don’t think we’ll ever fit their template
Afraid. What do you really want?
It’s too late. Innate.
Gravitate or deviate.

Big.
Clubbed to debt. Someone I met.
Marriage. Kiss yr friend. Is this adulthood?
Wages slave. “I’ve turned into my rents.”
Suburbia. Fear. Family. Rinse/repeat.
Then burn the house down.

Chorus
No we don’t fit the template
No, I don’t think we’ll ever fit their template
Afraid. What do you really want?
It’s too late. Innate.
FML TBH. Can’t relate.

Opening my eyes in the morning
Like Russian roulette
Everything to play for
Nothing you can actually get

So why change?

Nothing like working for a living.

Old.
Jesus is coming for you.
Divorce. Don’t leave me.
Crisis. Take the kids.
Retire. In fire. Surplus to requirement.
Pontificate - what did it all mean?
Just went along & then nothingness.

Anything afterwards?

No set way for living your life
& that’s OK
Yr great!
No wrong or right
Feel No shame
As long as you’re not hurting anyone
Don’t judge. No hate
Just love. I see the light
