lyrics
Part I
What's the matter with burning bridges?
The distinction of when to draw the line
Once the metronome finds its rhythm
“My God,” you cry, “Where goes the time?”
Stumbling ‘round in a pitch black room
Ever wonder when fate will come to call?
Building walls up on all four sides
Now when will they crumble and fall?
Graying and desperate to move
If only the path seemed right
And the seasons methodically change
And those on the right track sneer at who's gone left
Turning up their noses and striking a pose
Those simple pleasures, well, they never existed
And there you are, on the journey, alone
Excellence, you say?
What a novel idea
Well, which definition is presently in use?
Because old Webster fell flat on his elementary ass
With a hesitant honesty showing it's all just a ruse
Part II
It's a long road, can't you feel it?
A continuous struggle nonetheless
With points of view revealed and a manic public to impress
“It's a matter of pride,” they say
But no action taken at the time
Just a brush with authority and their thrill in killing the vibe
Graying and desperate to move
If only the path seemed right
It never quite seemed so deranged
Wallow behind a friendly vale in a torrential storm of, “What’s this?”
“How’s that?”
And, “Your quota is too low”
Caught again in an act of friendly idle chatter
Where a normal, comfortable gate is entirely too slow
The realization comes a few years too late
When titles mean nothing but same wage, less slack
Then the big man on campus gladly comes a-calling
Put on a good show or he'll want his money back
What's the matter with burning bridges?
The distinction of when to draw the line
Once the metronome finds its rhythm
“My God,” you cry, “Where goes the time?”
Stumbling ‘round in a pitch black room
Ever wonder when fate will come to call?
Building walls up on all four sides
Now when will they crumble and fall?
Graying and desperate to move
If only the path seemed right
And the seasons methodically change
And those on the right track sneer at who's gone left
Turning up their noses and striking a pose
Those simple pleasures, well, they never existed
And there you are, on the journey, alone
Excellence, you say?
What a novel idea
Well, which definition is presently in use?
Because old Webster fell flat on his elementary ass
With a hesitant honesty showing it's all just a ruse
Part II
It's a long road, can't you feel it?
A continuous struggle nonetheless
With points of view revealed and a manic public to impress
“It's a matter of pride,” they say
But no action taken at the time
Just a brush with authority and their thrill in killing the vibe
Graying and desperate to move
If only the path seemed right
It never quite seemed so deranged
Wallow behind a friendly vale in a torrential storm of, “What’s this?”
“How’s that?”
And, “Your quota is too low”
Caught again in an act of friendly idle chatter
Where a normal, comfortable gate is entirely too slow
The realization comes a few years too late
When titles mean nothing but same wage, less slack
Then the big man on campus gladly comes a-calling
Put on a good show or he'll want his money back
