lyrics

Good morning Patterson Brown
Put your feet on the floor when you hear the sound
Gotta wake for the day and the bills to pay, so come on
Trip on the stairs you go down
That’s the last of the milk as it hits the ground
Have to grab on the way or ’til noon you’ll wait, so come on

And it’s all you can do with the life that’s been selected for you

Making your way into town
Got a handful of people you can’t let down
Lest the gravity break what your conscience praises, come on
Selling your minutes for means, in the trade that you made with the bits you gleaned
While depravity prays and the privileged play, so come on

And it’s all you can do with the life that’s been selected for you

Something save me, come on
Have I found nothing
Give it away for an hourly rate
Something save me, come on
Have I found nothing
Reading the faces in the life that’s been selected for you

While you’ll maybe cover Maslow’s needs
You’ll delay what you make if you plant those seeds
But today you will stay and be paid
While you’re sheltered in the safety of the life that’s been selected for you

Good morning Patterson Brown
Put your feet on the floor when you hear the sound
Gotta wake for the day and the bills to pay so come on

And it’s all you can do with the life that’s been selected for you
All you can do with the life that is true
And it’s all you can do with the life that’s been selected for you
