USUAL BIOGRAPHY

It’s a little after four on a Thursday afternoon
I stare into the screen where it seems that all I’m worth goes into
Just another day of the week, when does it end?
Right then and there I decide, this is not how I want to contend

I go on down the hall and deliver the news
I hate to go but I have to see what I can do
Too much is placed on staying with the status quo
There’s always another way, this I know

I’m doing my own thing
And I don’t want opinions
Your way is not mine
I don’t mean to be unkind
But I have to go alone
And try to follow what I know
I don’t wanna be
Livin’ out the usual biography

The life I’ve always wanted is a life that I can look back on
When I’m sixty-four and I can say, hey I did it all
For any doubters this is what I say to everyone
Where is the living if all you do is wait for something to come?

I look around and see the life that everyone I know has found
So satisfied with all they have, enjoying the day with peace of mind
Although at times it looks so right I know it’s not what I will find
I need a little something more, a day not knowing what’s in store
