introducing jonah to the whale - everybody's worried about owen lyrics

[verse 1]
when will i have time to mourn what i’ve become
a new corporate sh*llac with a stapler gun
and i’ll write out my letters at demigod speed
and i’ll worship upon my own altar of greed

’til all families break up and all buildings come down
and all letters i write come back address unfound
and the earth’s smile will open ‘neath my office chair
find myself swallowed, jonah and the whale

[chorus]
and i was born a man
so that’s who i became
trading death for money
fearing only change

altruistic visions
behind a concrete wall
borders in my body
as i wait for them to fall

[verse 2]
the tragedy of the dreamer ten times scorned
for their name was drawn out to be ‘young warrior’
and so love became casual, tears became dry
as they took up their birthright and saw their dreams die
and you must understand that my life, it is cursed
i have lived all my dreams, i grew gold from the dirt
and yet still there’s an emptiness inside my chest
so why not just give in, let the fat whale digest

[chorus]
and i was born a man
so that’s who i became
trading death for money
fearing only change

altruistic visions
behind a concrete wall
borders in my body
as i wait for them to fall

[outro]
oh to fall, to fall, to fall
fall, fall, fall

- everybodys worried about owen lyrics
