Become a musician and nobody listens
When I leave for days what am I missing
No dryer, no washer, should've become a doctor
Or maybe a banker, or maybe a boxer
Or carrying boxes for some father's daughter
Who just started college at some school in Boston
You get what you give
When you're dying to live
We all get what we give
We're all dying to live
Worked a deep fryer for a couple of years
We'd finish our shifts and have a few beers
It tasted like freedom, the days high point
A satisfaction you can't get from a coin
You get so entangled in corporate fable
You are unable to fight or finagle
You get what you give
For just trying to live
We all get what we give
We're just fighting to live

A surprisingly tender and intimate concept record about long distance love from Cody Votolato of The Blood Brothers/Head Wound City. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2019
