Lyrics Shelf Life -

Shelf Life

Went to school for a couple of years, hold on dude
I don’t even know why, I went because they told me to
Packed my bag and then sent me on my way
Hey, when the fuck will I use trigonometry anyway?
And I’ve forgotten everything that I learnt
It’s got me wondering if it was worth all the time I spent
I don’t wanna go (I don’t care, you’re going, don’t be seflish)
Why do I have to go to school?
('cause everyone else is)
I’ve been putting the work in, but in the wrong places
I’ve met so many people, but seen the wrong faces
They say one day at the right place, at the right time
But for now, stay down in your lane, shelf life
Finally got out of school, barely left the block
And mum and dad were like, «now you gotta get a job»
What?
But I got a dream
I don’t wanna be another shelf stacker in Sainsbury’s
They told me I needed a back up plan
But damn, no Plan B works as good as Plan A can
They all told me that I was thinking selfish
Said I had to get a job like everyone else did
I’ve been putting the work in, but in the wrong places
I’ve met so many people, but seen the wrong faces
They say one day at the right place, at the right time
But for now, stay down in your lane, shelf life
So if you feel like you’re walking without an aim
Clap your hands and I’ll do the same
One, two, I’ll be clapping with you
Let’s all do what we don’t wanna do
One, two, I’ll be clapping with you
Let’s all do what we don’t wanna do
I’ve been putting the work in, but in the wrong places
I’ve met so many people, but seen the wrong faces
They say one day at the right place, at the right time
But for now, stay down in your lane, shelf life
Don’t care about your plans, it’s nothing new
Let’s all do what we don’t wanna do
'cause everyone else is doing what everyone else is doing
Ha!
