lyrics

not a moment too late
departing out from the gates
there’s nothing to disavow
the crowds are so distant now

that I’m living the dream
economy class on the stream
if only you’d see me now
this stewardess tells me how
sorry she is that my bubbly’s flat
say no worries in adopted tongue
smirks at my accent, dismissively turns
and I’m right back at the embassy

I won’t back down, I’ll carry it around
I won’t back down

now we quicken the pace
out the door with a haste
meritocracy values guile
my work itself is worthwhile
don’t I deserve what I earn? (you’re just lucky enough)
what they gave so I’d learn (you know)
well who makes a difference now
the bull running up the dow?

comes easy the opulence feels good
to maximize all of my wasted time
go laugh at my gaudy illusions it’s what little I control
is that such a crime?
napkins a stack, bars of soap from the hotel
the ketchup packets into my bag
but even in aisles of the grocery the scarcity haunts me
the stares of my weathered old mom

I won’t breakdown, I’ll carry it around
you even listening to yourself lately?
miss you so much yeah since you left us, lately
