Footnote 2 (In This Life)

Lyrics written by Neil O'Brien.


I once made a decision I might live to regret
Fell out of step with the world, a bit like Minor Threat
Playing games I can't win is a lifestyle I reject
Cos the thing that matters most is to keep your self-respect
Yet I'm scared of growing old and disowning my soul
Forgetting all my ideals and giving up on my goal
Cos I know the path I've chosen is the hardest road
And I know in the end I'll be cold and alone
But I can't escape the feeling that I had no choice
Chasing ideals and dreams, I tend to drift to extremes
I refused to listen to the Siren's voice
I may be a fool, but I'm my own man
