I know when summer ends: the deafening songbirds' din will descend
Into factories I haven't seen, those dormant and seasonal depositories
I know when summer ends when your arms tied behind your back start to bend
In directions that I haven't seen, into places where we all feel ugly
With the colors of our collective decay
With the colors whose names we dare not say
we go right on
I know when summer ends: when your arms tied behind your back start to bend
When your crossed eyes try to look straight ahead
at the colors of our collective decay
with the colors whose name we dare not say
we go lie on
I know when summer ends
I know when summer ends
I know when summer ends
I know when summer ends

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the nine to five. I haven't slept well since it started but I never seemed to have trouble in the backseat in 90 degree heat on the I-57.
I could'a been a contender, I could'a put up some kind of fight
I could'a been a contender, I shouldn't have given up after that night
Aisles and desks crunching numbers for the bottom line. Matching aisles and desks. Sitting in chairs while our lives pass us by.
I could'a been a contender, I could'a put up some kind of fight
I could'a been a contender, I shouldn't have given up after that night

Reasons for Dropping Out

A dollar fifty more an hour will only change your life until the next paycheck. All burned on booze to forget the next eight hours and the late rent and the student loans you're taking on. Let go.
How much more until it's all right? Are we O.K.? Are these ten drinks even taking away the sting of sixty hour work weeks? The rest to merely survive. Let go.
I can feel our dreams and goals changing down in this basement. Six figure debt on a five figure salary. One day we're gonna go upstairs and let it all go.

Summer Goals

It was a summer that I couldn't remember
We could feel real proud for now
This is the shit to forget forever
The kinda thing you try to drown
Middle of my chest poking like a tumor
I still go and smoke again
How else could I pass this idle hour
And feel like Some fucking accomplishment
I do not have time to waste
We're where we swore we'd never be!
I do not have time to waste
We're doing things that we'd never do!!
And that's fine I guess
Yeah!
If this is what life's all about
hand me my punch card I'm punching out
Losing fear, gaining doubt
i punch out i punch out i punch out i punch out i punch out
When you're home are you home when you're home are you home when you're home are you home when you're home when you're home when you're home
