Christofer Drew - The Modern Racket lyrics

(Verse 1) Hey my friend, how do you do today? The sun's burned out, and the skies a pale shade of gray Our ambitions of adventure are so calmly misinterpreted Hey my friend, what should we do today? And I don't know why I still try I go where I'm told but I do what I want Pa**ion turns to action turns to makin' a few lousy bucks This careless philosophy might just be the d**h of me But I do what I do and you don't what you don't And I don't know why I still try (Verse 2) Hey buddy 'ol pal, what has been new with you? The moon is twice full, but the darkness has you so blue Your expectations are overwhelming but not just for you But me too Hey buddy 'ol pal I've had had it up to here with you And I don't know why I still try This modern racket rattles us around like a noisy truth The success is just as tempting as to not giving no filthy f**s The dirty jokes are selling like gold on a rope This modern racket rattles us around with no hope Ain't I don't know why I still try
