lyrics

Heaven it’s so nice to see you again
Tell me how have you been? Loosen up your tie
Reports and deadlines and a weekend stiff drink
Just a day in the life of the new millennial

Caught in the wheel of ideals and credentials
A slow moving wind blowing all my potential
And I’ll never be a big man about town
I’m falling down

Never once
Never tried
This is the last time I look around
Just to find I’ve been deceiving myself
I’m born into this

Heaven it’s so hard just to get out of bed
And pretend that better days are coming ‘round
The life of a chaebol reflecting from the screen
Feed the fantasy of dreams never realized

Caught in the grind watching time slip away
I’ll dream of tomorrow while killing today
I just want to be a big man about town
I’m falling down

Never once
Never tried
This is the last time I look around
Just to find I’ve been deceiving myself
I’m born into this

I want to be of je ne sais quoi potential
And I want to be a vain man with credentials
And I swear I’ll be the next big man in town
And burn every goddamn bridge around me
