Midnight Thoughts by Madcap has to be one of the greatest lyrical works ever. Its been with me for like 7 years now, the first verse cuts my life into just a few lines. It's pretty crazy.
Working for the man, trying to make the wages,
Working for the man, selling sophistication.
Working for the girl, trying to stay sane,
When all you wants a ticket on an outbound train.
I just love how it cuts everything I've done since I started back in highschool into 4 lines. Of course it doesn't include all the crazy times living with mark, or goin to farm farmevery weekend throughout the summer, Years of concert going or any thing else I did extra. But if it wasn't for those 4 lines I wouldn't have done those things. Thats where my wages went. But those were just the substitution instead of packing up and getting out of town. I should have followed my dream of travelling the rails for a year. But I let the bastards grind me down. They may have ground the burs and snags off of my profile but when your core never changes and they never stop grinding, you get just a bit sharper in your age. Just gotta keep a good angle when against the grindstone. And this quarter is gonna wreck my face worse than a sawed off ten gauge shotgun loaded with a roll of quarters. Lets get ready for some fun.
