Way of the World - Dear Reader

Oh the alarm clock gotta get up

Some days just that seems pretty tough

It's messing my sheets but

I'm wearing the heaviest boots ever made

I go to the park to watch the dogs bark

Smile at their owners the kids and the stoners

Lie on the grass and feel like

The happiest girl there ever was

It's the way of the world as I know it

It's the weight of the words as you spoke them

Are you sure that you know where you're going

Are you working it out

Driving to work it takes you two hours

You're stuck in the traffic

With hundreds and thousands

Of people who drag themselves

Out of bed at 4 AM every day

And you don't know how it got to this point

Where you feel so guilty for not working harder

But you're working weekends and your mates

They hardly ever see your face

It's the way of the world as you know it

It's the weight of the words as I spoke them

Are you sure that you know where you're going

Are you working it out
