Hate This Place

from RMS Olympic EP by RMS Olympic

/

lyrics

I swear to God, I fuckin' hate this place
I punch the clock and watch it tick my life away
So when I leave here
I'm never coming back again
I used to dream of a life more free
But that doesn't seem to be the plan fate had for me
Though I still feel like I am young
And I catch a glimpse of freedom
Every now and then

I still have music coursing through my veins
And a handfull of friends who make me feel the same
As I did when I was young
And didn't give a fuck if I ever found my way

Maybe only fools are dreamers, after all
Maybe I should have given up
Settled down
And gone to school
But I still seem to get by
Just fine on minimum wage
The familiar taste of cigarettes is in my lungs
I've got some whiskey in my coffee
I still know how to have fun
I just don't ever want to be forced to act my age

And if time makes fools of us all
Then maybe this can be my wake-up call
To wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Start to live before I die
