[Verse 1]
Every time I think of all the time I had to think
Of where my past is leading to, and where my future meets my view
(If I only knew)
Uncertainty is the spice of life
You move alone and don't think twice about it
'Cause every time you do, you'll miss a moment
(It's gone, adieu)
And step by step, day by day
Funny how clichés stay true
All you know is all you need to know
Let the rest come as it comes to you
And Hallmark cards and shooting stars don’t get you that far at all
But putting faith in anything's better than being lost
And chasing dreams and finer things won't bring you any certainty
But it don't seem to hurt

[Verse 2]
And doing drugs are lots of fun
But they sure seem to make you numb and passive
Blind your eyes and make you prone to habits
You know what your actions get you
Having fun and finding love are as defined by you
No, need to act it
Keep your eyes ahead, you're bound to have it
You see, we're all gonna get bad news
But we're all in lives past due
All you get to choose is what defines you
[Interlude]
Marxism, Catholicism, Objectivism, you name it
Rubbish, all rubbish
What is real is experience
How much of that has been taken away from us?
By these dominators?
By these priesthoods?
By these cults?
Well, a lot

[Verse 3]
And asking for your own advice from other's mouths won't give you means to take it
You know how to move, your peers are blameless
(You'll get it soon, you'll get it soon, you'll get it soon)
And finding God and making one are not one in the same
You'll sin in practice
So pick your masters wisely in your madness
And easy-living philosophies you never have to prove
Getting old is wealth that beats the other choice you get to choose
