lyrics

I am so indifferent, I don't give a shit
Live or die, whatever happens, make the least of it
I got a new job that's gonna make me rich
Enough to buy a nice car I can drive into a ditch
How I love contributing to society
I'll punch that clock until I feel like nothing's wrong with me

Oh well, you know how it is
To be alive
Oh well, you know how it is
To compromise

Got the new game system, play it all night long
Gotta catch all 150 Pokémon
Mr. Motivator says he's got a plan
Says he's gonna make my life so memorable and grand
Wake up at six thirty, write down all my sorrow
Eat these magic beans and you'll be shitting gold tomorrow

Oh well, you know how it is
To be alive
Oh well, you know how it is
To compromise
To compromise
To compromise

My artistic temperament moves too slow for some
People look at me like I am different or just dumb
Early in the morning, I get so inspired
When I get off work at six o' clock, I feel so tired
Show me how to fight it, teach me how to live
I am only twenty-five and I have so much more to give

Oh well, you know how it is
To be alive
Oh well, you know how it is
To feel your life slipping by
