lyrics

Won't say that it's bad that I'm happy
I can't complain
Cashin' salary checks that are all the same
No more minimum wage
No more calling my Mom to tell her I'll be home late
Because I'm out on my own now
Playin' real boy
Fully employed in my field (YAY!)
Four straight months; sour heart, sad brain
Now I'm settling into a new link on the food chain

But while it's true that some weathered a long climb
Some were abroad with their boyfriends in fancy clothes
Living largely, in love for the meantime
Or keeping busy while you hold on for tomorrow

We all stop
We all take stock
We all feel regret about paths we've taken
There's always a legacy wonderin'
'What ifs' by the hundreds
And downplayin' all we've made

She went to a better school than you
But she's hardly self-actualized
Now you spend all your evenings alone in your bedroom
But by daylight teach children to empathize with each other
What a beautiful thing

about

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
