    A song about buying your life away.
    CD: Into the Day EP   Label: Indie Atlas Records
    Credits: Dave Coffin

    Story Behind the Song
    This song is about having to buy what you feel is important and the frustration you experience when it feels like you're buying your life away.

    Lyrics
    So do the math
    With my numbers I can't get anywhere
    Do the math
    My future my money my fated
    Imminent death
    I'm stuck I'm trapped I've got to adapt
    To the things I lack
    What will I do with no help from you
    I'll be able to live on my own
    I'll own my own gravestone
    I'll shatter my own halo
    I'll get rich and famous and blow my pay roll
    I'll be a hero to a freeloader
    And get things for free
    I'll play the game of shame and greed
    And put on some free shows
    I'll buy a lot of bullshit
    And sell a lot too
    After all these years money is telling me what to do

    Open up your mind I say
    Money isn't everything All work no play
    Makes Dave a dull boy
    I'd rather make my own choice than be an unhappy pack rat
    With no means or words to voice

    Why even ask I don't know where to go with this now
    This fortunate clueless tool has already bottomed out
    I'll learn what I can burning money by the minute
    But it's more than what you make of it I'm afraid to admit it
    Nothing could make me happier than to throw it all away
    But maybe it'd be better if I choose to stay
    I learn what I forget the second time around
    So let me make my mistakes and burrow my face into the ground

    Open up your wallets right away
    Money is the reason for the season it's a brand new day
    Throw away your diligence and buy what you hate
    I've bought my life I guess that's just my fate
