What Everybody Else Does Lyrics by Project

Rectify E.P.

2015

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
