lyrics

THE BALLAD OF JIMMY MORGAN

Fuck a job
stay in bed
read those books
You haven’t read.
Write a song,
paint a picture in your head.
Politicians, celebrities,
click-bait to limit your fantasies.
Can’t you see
that your mind is compromised?
Homelessness,
the rent is due.
They picked your pocket
in front of you.
Can’t you see
there’s a war going on?
In your mind and in your soul
they say they’re taking back control.
Could there be another way out?

Live every day
like it’s your last day.
Don’t go to work,
stay at home.

Locked inside your meat suit
with the mental blues again
possibilities roam your mind.
Could you end it here?
Could you kill the fear?
Could there be another way out?
The gods that they sent you.
The gurus that abused you.
Now you see
Money is your enemy.
Time is finally running out
and you cast away your doubt.
Could there be another way out?

Live every day
like it’s your last day.
Don’t go to work,
stay at home.
Live every day
like it’s your last day.
Don’t go to work,
stay at home.

Fuck the job
