Operation Ivy

Junkies Running Dry

Operation Ivy


I always looked up on the ones who walked away 
choosing themselves over 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 
but those i loved so much they underwent a change 
they're working forty hours they got caught in the game 
like junkies running dry, the vulnerability
they're always there on time 
we're never satisfied like junkies running dry

this wonderful generosity, a third of our lives to do what we please 
doesn't look that great to me, in fact it doesn't even 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 
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go 
but now i'm working just like everyone else 
but ill get out of here!
