(Alright, let's run it again)
Found myself sitting down with a newspaper
A half a dozen headlines and a couple minutes later
Inspiration fills me now I'm jumping in headfirst
I dream of making music, but I'm inside taking calls
This job is like a prison, but with carpet-covered walls
(I need to take this)
(Your call is very important to us, please hold)
Gotta' find a way
Change my direction
Don't want to stay
Just gotta' get out
Just gotta' get out
Just gotta' get out of
Here I am, looking like I've got it figured out
The bills are paid, I've got it made, what's there to cry about
But that's not me, well who the hell am I? I don't have a clue
I guess I'll just start
Hear the music passing by it echoes through my mind
It stumbles through a minefield directionless and blind
Where do I go, what can I do, and how can I
Discover who I am?
I've started writing music and they say I'm pretty good
I'm starting to get noticed, though I never thought I would
Holy crap, I'm in way over my head
(Let me explain)
The only song I wrote made the headlines in a day
The press is on my lawn and they will not go away
There are twenty dozen record labels calling me right now
(what the hell)
Gotta' find a way
Escape the dysfunction
Day after day
Just gotta' get out
I'm clawing my way out of
Here I am, looking like I've got it figured out
The bills are paid, I've got it made, what's there to cry about
But that's not me, well who the hell am I? I don't have a clue
(How on Earth did I get)
Hear the music everywhere, it's playing on repeat
What once was my creation, now does not belong to me
Where have I gone, what did I do, why haven't I
Discovered who I am?
