NIGHT SHIFT Lyrics by Owen Meldon

Professor Quigley 2

2022

The world is like Fushigi, it's a scam
How many kids led astray by their aspirations
You're not gonna make it in a real situation
There's nothing left to study for on this exam
No resurrections this time, no sentiment
Your life and your car and your job are on the line
You wake up every morning just before 9
To make up a fraction of the country's top one percent

Your only purpose in life is to please the man in power
Bald men bozos take your money to the moon
And even if you thought about quitting soon
You'd still havе to find a job that makes $15 an hour
I said once "Love is a miraculous gift"
But you can't еven afford a diamond ring
So you call up your girl and you tell her just one thing:
"Coming home late tonight, working the night shift"

My world is upside down, call that umbilical
You think the world is great, then you're cynical
I can't even think straight, not logistical
I can't even think of a rhyme that's original
Trying something new so that it's not monotonous
The government should do the same with all those documents
Trying to balance out the negatives with the positives
But there's just not enough, call that a consequence

What do I even do with a bachelor's degree?
I don't even have the money to open a KFC
Why don't I just stick with music in all actuality
This isn't music anymore, it's an insanity plea
Fictitious, not actually
Factually, I'm fine
This is just a way to say that I just wanna be successful
And I know that the world is very stressful but

Okay, let's do this one without vocal effects

Blinding lights right on the night shift
Finding why life kept me silent
My mind keeps changing with the climate
The answers, can I find it
My soul, should I sign it
Nah, nah, nah (hold on)
I keep on waiting on me to take a first step
Dreading the beach, I’m afraid of the sea, I’m drowning again
I’m drowning again, I'm drowning again, I’m drowning again
I’m drowning again, I'm drowning again, I’m drowning again
I'm tweaking on the weekly since I moved up to the city
Got this girl she looking pretty, only issue, she can’t see me
I’ve been dreaming about VVs, but I wake up to my ceiling
I just dreamt about habibti, look down, now my pants are sticky

I got 20/20 vision but I can’t see
My future's looking dim and I’ve reached my peak
I need to plant the seeds for my family tree
But all the flower pots have been running from me

Blinding lights right on the night shift, yeah
Finding why life kept me silent, yeah
My mind keeps changing with the climate
The answers, can I find it
My soul, should I sign it, nah
Blinding lights right on the night shift, yeah
Finding why life kept me silent, yeah
My mind keeps changing with the climate
The answers, can I find it
My soul, should I sign it, nah
