Poly

Compass

V1
I don?t wanna go,
Today I don?t want to work.
Its not what I paid for,
It not what I put my ass through school for.

Oh yeah I didn?t they did
Well now you catch my whole drift,
I had support from my whole family.
And this is partially why I hate me
Moping all the time in this
Faded state of misplaced glory.

C
Am I alone again?
Am I the only one?
It?s getting harder to keep on this way
The water?s stirring and my compass
Fell in the ocean.

V2
I play an instrument,
But I never want to dance.
If I was someone else,
I?d probably want to punch me in the face.

You see the hole is being dug
With every push and every shove,
So I might as well make it my job
It?d be a hundred times easier than
Pleasing him or pleasing her or
Pleasing them and theirs and yours not mine.

C (instrumental)

V3
Just take the money,
I haven?t any favors to lend.
Don?t want your dogma,
Mine?s not for you to make any sense of.

You see I just needed a ride
And when I got inside
I didn?t mind your constant chatter.
And I?d tried to be for real
And listen how you feel
But I?m a taxi fare
Not a priest or doctor.

C3
Am I the only one, you say,
That I?m the selfish one.
You?re such a giving soul,
So nice of you to give instructions
On how I ought to be.
