Misguided (Ft. Alias) Paroles

if progress means more
then I'm simply misguided
[x2]

I've taken another turn
and I'll show you the page
one of has-been burns
the other one has been reformed

you never know when you'll be makin' your last b-side
I could be workin' on it right now as i write
eventually I'll retreat back to the salty air town
and be the stereotypical sailor of music
or chain-smoking in the studio
mad at the world
looking back to the could-of-beens or should-of-beens
and asking what I would-of-been
now uh-oh what was what but me
here to make chest cavity
glasses on hand we're all some denomination to sunday forgiveness to justify our sweet sins
me deciding what tie I should wear
to match my briefcase and dress socks
surrounded by the work clock lines and instant coffee
you think this is a goal that summons more haunting than dot-dot-dot
it's a virus in the minds of robot-bot-bot-bot-bots
who aren't aware that the folks in the row
doing what they're told
and no matter how many times I touch it it's so frightening to me
just imagine a life of looking forward to that Disneyland vacation
and that obedient golden retreiver
let's all hop in the mid-life crisis car
and drive off to forgetting perfect life, perfect kids, perfect husband-and-wife
so it's fitting that an imperfect person is sitting and happy without the would-of-beens or could-of-beens or should-of beens

well I still believe that if things can change
that they change for the better
if progress means more
than I'm simply misguided
