A Place in the Sun

from Side 1 by Triggerman

lyrics

Your fate
Has passed its expiration date
Shed your skin
Dive on in
Your new life
Is about to begin
Your face
Filtered and arranged
The path is up ahead
That’s what the algorithm said

You’re looking for fame
Everyone does the same
You think it leads to
Salvation
There’s no salvation

You’re passing the blame
Everyone does the same
You hope it brings
Abdication
There’s no abdication
There’s just us

Life didn’t turn out to be
Like in the magazine
You can still get by
On what’s left behind

There is no beginning or end
So just pretend (you fit in)

Came here planning to thrive
Now you’re trying to survive
Hoping to change your definition
Until the revelation
That you’re one of us

Is it overrated
This life that we seek?

This is a job you can find
This is a house you can buy
These are some pills you can take
To make it all seem ok

Don’t despair
You’ll figure out
That your life’s just ordinary
There’ll be times
When you’ll get close
And watch the sand slip through your fingers

Programmed from day one
Searching for a place in the sun

All you fallen angels
All you hopeless strangers
This is all
This is all
This is all
There is
