An interview for a job you don't want and, luckily, do not get.
Letting go of the ambitions that might fit others but don't fit you.
The life that doesn't want you.
That despises you.
Because you secretly despise it.
And want more.
Than just a job.
With a car.
And a wife.
And a house.
That you can't afford.
That you'll have to leave.
Once you've introduced your children to the world of debt.
So you quit your job.
And you drive your car.
From the place where you started.
To the place where your meant to be.
And you reach into your chest.
And you feel that empty space.
And you laugh hysterically.
At how absurd the whole thing is.
lyrics
Out in Eagan courting Armageddon
I wore my blackest suit
I did my hair all cute
Some duckfluff haircut come and talk to me
Kindly ask my price
I blink, I bat my eyes
But I can't even sell my soul
The devil don't want it no
And there's nothing sadder than a whore
Who can't even sell himself
All these cars seem to drive themselves
To and from their lives
And I'm, I'm just the same
I stay in my lane
Nowhere to go, nothing to gain
Cause I can't even sell my soul
The devil don't want it no
And there's nothing sadder than a whore
Who can't even sell himself
