From a young age I was told I could do anything
Fly to the moon or spend my days strumming on six strings
Now I’ve been told that my options are all the same
I’ve been brainwashed to think that my journey’s been pre-ordained

I could try for MBA and I wrote LSAT
But I don’t think I’ll take those things so far
I could spend my life on Bay Street, or get my PhD
But I’d just rather play guitar

All my friends are in places they resent
I just don’t understand the appeal of a life that I’d regret
At the end of the day you realize it’s a crying shame
Well you got to the top and you’ve only got yourself to blame

I could try for MBA and I wrote LSAT
But I don’t think I’ll take those things so far
I could spend my life on Bay Street, or get my PhD
But I’d just rather play guitar

Well I could run for politics or maybe shine on silver screens
I could write a novel or become a corporate VP
I could be somebody I don’t ever want to be
But I don’t think I, I’d just rather

I could try for MBA and I wrote LSAT
But I don’t think I’ll take those things so far
I could spend my life on Bay Street, or get my PhD
But I’d just rather play guitar
