Verse:

First minute of the first day, and I'm already thirsty

Thinking that there's gotta be something more in the worst way

Is it worth the wait? Just got a bad case of the Monday Morning Blues son

That's what they all say

I take a step back and look around at this crowd

With smiles stapled to their face to keep their frowns upside down

But it's just the normality, everybody does it

Sometimes you've gotta dig through the shit just because it's

What everybody else does, where else are you gonna get your buzz?

You're not gonna get to the top if you kick up this fuss

Just live for the weekend and drink your paycheck away

But if you're living in a box, how're you gonna see the light of day?

You've just gotta pretend that everything'll be okay

Everybody else does, we've all got our dues to pay

Now just float through everyday, you need to start to learn to say

What everybody else does, everybody else does

Chorus:

Now maybe I don't wanna be the norm

I wanna have some stories for my Grandchild before

I get too old to live my dreams, fuck the cash and the cream

I just want a life that was worth living for

Verse:

Sometimes I wish that I was out in the wild

Hunting game with a spear, a Lord Of The Flies child

Now don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate

The blessings that I have and the hands that I've been dealt

I really can't complain, but still there's something in my brain

That wants to run the fuck away and go live in a cave

Away from all the Facebook drama, and the hashtags

Grab the things that really matter and stuff them inside of a backpack

Leave a note for my Mother, when I'm done I'll make a comeback

With a hell of a story to tell, a Castaway beard for extra impact

That ain't what everybody else does, just a bold few

Hold true to their words and always seem to follow through

That's where my inspiration grew, yeah I'm talking about you

Had the basic necessities, halfway across the world you flew

And still I don't think you realise the amount of guts that takes to do

Pack your life into a bag and set your head down somewhere new

Chorus:

Now maybe I don't wanna be the norm

I wanna have some stories for my Grandchild before

I get too old to live my dreams, fuck the cash and the cream

I just want a life that was worth living for
