about

This is a song for anyone who felt pressure to fulfill expectations set for them by their elders, but went off and did something risky and different with their lives.

lyrics

Rebel child, mama don't approve
of your ways or your point of view
we're callin' out on the avenue
won't do what you want us to

Papa said you gotta earn degrees
to be the man I wanna see
sure looked good hangin' on a wall
if I could I'd sell them all

Easy to see right before the fall
they're playin' it safe while we risk it all
now's the time no one ever knows

9 am, any desk in town
stare at a screen til the sun goes down
I think about what Papa said
"Work form 25 until you're dead."

Easy to see right before the fall
they're playin' it safe while we risk it all
now's the time no one ever knows
about tomorrow
about tomorrow
