Art Rush - The Life They Warned Me About lyrics

Woke up playing Cool Spot On a Sega emulator Beat the first level Found the cage and got the bonus round Spent some time on JJ.AM And played SimTower And with absolute integrity I avoided the shower Then Mom came home and said Just why are you still in bed See technically I'm not unemployed I kept the Wednesday shift But six days out of seven I've got nothing to do Thank God I don't have bills to pay Or I'd be on the streets by now Miranda's stuck in Bathurst And she's still stuck at school And I don't write songs as much as I used to And everyone's at uni Or they're working full time So this is the life They warned me about I dropped in my resume At Blockbuster the other day I wasn't very well presented But I think I did OK I went up to Macquarie To further spread my resume Ironically I went there Just to send it from a net cafe Which I could have done at home But I'm glad I got out of the house Cause this sort of thing Can drive you mad if you let it Cause six days out of seven I've got nothing to do Thank God I don't have bills to pay Or I'd be on the streets by now Miranda's stuck in Bathurst And she's still stuck at school And I don't write songs as much as I used to And everyone's at uni Or they're working full time So this is the life They warned me about Wake up kid You got the devil's disease Probably everyone wants the Same jobs that I do I put in on the HMV site the other day I applied for Warringah Mall It would take me an hour To get out there from where I live But I could swing that if I could land that kind of job It'd suit me pretty well And I can't help but think about that place Open air, closed air Indoors, outdoors Dolphins jumping, kids in hoodies The time that I met Sarah there City kids who aren't quite in the city Surfie kids who aren't quite at the beach The summer breeze And something leaves me empty Something itches at me further Something rolls around that place I can't quite put my finger on Like I had some good times there In another life That maybe someone else is living right now And maybe I'll run into them somehow
