lyrics

Making Eggs - by Jackson Emmer

I bet you know that person
who woke up in second grade,
i know what i’m doing
with my life, and all today

they often study latin
foreign policy and kant,
color coded planners
they work for what they want

oh dang.
so self assured.
they plan their life and death
just as soon as they are born.

oh dang.
i’m on the skids.
you woke up and changed the world,
while i’m just making eggs.

some folks work for paychecks
some just work for love.
i’m stuck in the middle,
counting singles,
stacking ones

their brains are always turning
like the hands of grandpa’s clock.
inching towards a grand design
they know just what they want.

chorus

from tiburon to texas,
i’ve seen some things, i guess.
some folks have the fire
some folks are just a mess.

don’t let it bring you down
don’t let if break your yoke.
better living as an ember
than to just go up in smoke.
