Switchfoot?

Not much to post today yet. Been thinking about Life lately. My work buddy, Luc has been looking for a new job and it's got me thinkin more about my own life I guess. I'm just so bored and so tired of this same old stuff in this same old building at this same old computer. I wanna see life, experience it. I want to enjoy the sunshine and listen to loud music and feel free. Why does a career have to contain you like a cage? There's gotta be more.

Inspired by Switchfoot thismorning:


American Dream
Switchfoot


When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess

If you're time ain't be nothing for money
I start to feel really bad for you honey
Maybe honey put you're money where your mouth's been running
If you're time ain't be nothing but money
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom

(chorus)

This ain't my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

When success is equated with excess
When we're fighting for the beamer, the lexus
As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
Where success is equated with excess
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom

(chorus)

Cause baby's always talkin 'bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?
Like a puppet on a monetary string

Maybe we've been caught singing
Red, white, blue, and green
But that ain't my America,
That ain't my American dream

(chorus)
