	A song about a man who spent his whole life studying and now has a job and hates it and wants his time back! Sucka...
	Credits: Jeremy Woods, Justin Limberger, Sumner Vanderhoof, Chris Lord
	Story Behind the Song This song was about the path I could have taken myself if I had done what everybody wants me to do; that is, study real hard in high school, study real hard all 7 years of college, then get a desk job... I would end up hating that desk job, and there would be no way to get all the time back. A little foresight into the future if you will. Lyrics Staring at the wall It's pale and it's grey Glaring at the work That I have in front of me A lot of time to think To sit and reflect A lot of time to cut right in And dissect The reason why I'm here The path that I've chosen It's my career and when my eyes open Suddenly it's clear And I spent my life doing what they told me Stay in, be safe, and do well in school Now I stand a man, still a child inside And I'm thinking: Did I do it all right? Seven years spent in college Now my time spent in books Where's my social life? Where's my free time? I don't want this I'll break away What are you saying? This is all just like you planned Stop all this hating here and now Settle down and realize That you're a grown man Get back to work and turn around Well, look at me Isn't this big desk just swell? It's my own office and a shiny nameplate It all means nothing This routine is my hell But with my chin up, I face the world and say Bleeding means nothing I'll let it flow down freely Relax, don't slip away Come back down to Earth You could be happy someday The world demands blood sometimes Back then I'd break But now when it looks like I might I put my chin up, and I face the world and say
