lyrics

Choose

Some choose life
Some choose death
Most choose to hide
And bide their time

Some choose love
Some choose hate
Most vacillate,
Depending on fate

Wake up
You’re alive now
And though you’re not feeling gusto
You can’t play Prince Hamlet
And this ain’t your dumbshow

Life’s a burden, you’ll blunder
But you ain’t getting younger
You’ll sleep when your dead
Until then, better choose, son

Some choose God
Some choose self
Some you can’t tell
They didn’t choose well

Some choose truth
Some choose to lie
Only one’s right
But both feel justified

Most don’t choose,
Just drift on cruise,
And in the end... they’ve all got some excuse

Wake up
You’re nearly thirty
And though now life’s one big party
When you’re middle-age and regretful
No one will take pity

The world blows, so you wallow
But will you lead or will you follow?
If resentment doesn’t sound fun,
Then you better make a choice, son
If you’re friends are all losers,
Then you better find yourself new ones
And before time steals your future,
You better plan for the long run...

about

English Minor Chicago, Illinois

A songwriting duo who, after many (many) attempts, have been unable to formulate a bio of just the right amount of sincerity and irony so as to succinctly capture the essence of their musical sensibilities.
