Junkie’s Running Dry Lyrics by Operation Ivy

0

[Verse 1]
I always looked up on the ones who walked away
Choosing themselves over the preset ways
Of looking at a future that had no room for the
Questions they lived for
Always knew I never could have walked away myself
My self worth was beyond any help
And I didn't care to test it against the rejection I had seen before
[Chorus]
But those I loved so much they underwent this change
They're working forty hours they got caught in the game
(Like junkies running dry) The vulnerability
(Like junkies running dry) They're always there on time
(Like junkies running dry) We can't be satisfied
(Junkies running dry)
[Verse 2]
This wonderful generosity
A third of our lives to do what we please
Doesn't look that great to me
It doesn't even really look fair
They call it youthful idealism
And even I would have to agree with them
Except some of us grow up and its still there
[Chorus]
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
But those I loved so much they underwent this change
They're working fourty hours they got caught in the game
But now I'm working just like everyone else
But I'll get out
I'll get out of here
[Chorus]
