Everyone's got their own plans A map of Brooklyn on the backs of their hands But no one ever seems to find their way out the door
You could say you're unworthy And settle for a bit of jersey Or you could cram in the train as if there's something to fight for
They're always saying You'll never make it on your own Why don't you take another loan? Before you know it You're hardly fighting for yourself Owned by everybody else And I'll never understand, no I'll never understand
Maybe it's time to revisit Camus That myth of Sisyphus is sizzling you And a stone with that kind of weight could put a dent in your interest
For all the times you could lie awake And ponder if there was a better mistake It doesn't matter doesn't matter you're screwed either way
They're always saying You'll never make it on your own Why don't you take another loan? Before you know it You're hardly fighting for yourself Owned by everybody else And I'll never understand, no I'll never understand
Scrawled in pen across your palm Remember all you've got to pay You'd better find a way Looming thick above the calming river All you've got to pay You'd better find the way to all you'll ever know
That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes That's the way it goes
