THE SEMESTER REVIEW LYRICS

"Woke Up Ordinary"

No one around me is staying the same.
They all got tattoos and got their ears gauged.
But not me.
I'll never be like them.
So I'll sit and strum these chords
In my broken down '84.
And I'll sing about
The nights out on the road.

So put it off now.
Deal with it tomorrow.
Time isn't ours.
It's something we borrowed.
If it doesn't work out
We won't say it's over for us.

It dawned on me
That we have a limited time.
To reach the goals we set
To not live stuck behind a desk.
Well I'm off to college
To get my future started.
It looks to me I'm falling in line.
For a life that's just so ordinary,
Where I will just be one of many
People who are working nine to five.
I don't wanna waste my time.

Been playing these four chords
The past right years.
Now all of a sudden
Kids open their ears
But still,
We're considered out of style.
So let's hang on my front yard
And let's thrash around the block.
Let's do hoodrat shit
On the playground at the park.

I sell myself short,
I got it down to a science.
But with my six strings
I'll just be defiant
To anything so monochrome at best.

It dawned on us
That we have a limited time.
To reach the goals we've set
To not live stuck behind a desk.
Well we're off to college
To get our future started.
It looks to us we're falling in line
For a life that's so ordinary
Where we will just be one of many.
People who are working nine to five
We don't wanna waste our time.
