st. lenox - lust for life lyrics
“let’s not romanticize our sad years of oppression, shall we?”
i said quietly to myself at the office yesterday
see, i’ve been working myself like a dog this year
and all the while, i’m watching the man pick fruit from the vines of the gardens that i planted this year
when i was young, i once believed the world is wide, and full of wonder
and i never squandered opportunities that come my way
but i’m still shivering in the house again, like еvery winter
scr+ping by on kitchen magic and thе kindly acts of strangers
i’m still sublimating my l+st for life! and, jesse, i swear i deserve better than this life of mere subsistence and debt
i would say that i have loved my life as a philosopher
chasing that inner spark that i’ve often called divine
i know we’re characterized as malcontents, and jobless losers
but everyone comes running back to us when the hour’s dire, or they are near death
and i have lived these years on meager pay, and bread, and water
as the fellow ascetics do on their journey to enlighten
you spend your graduate studies t++tering on the brink of squalor, and sometimes i ask myself, if the dream is really worth it
but i’ve been wanting this for my whole life, professor!
so now, am i destined to perish, rich in the spirit, but, also, poor in the flesh?
“let’s not romanticize our sad years of oppression, shall we?”
i said quietly to myself at the office yesterday
i’m growing tired of toeing the line again
and, just this christmas, waking up to the calculations of the monthly bills and rent
i hear they’re gonna start up a union, jesse
don’t you think we deserve much better than this life of mere subsistence?
i hear that people are starting a union, jesse
i hope if we work together, we can make this school a better place
