Start at the End

And so we start at the end
Diplomas clutched in our hands
And it's just me and my friends
With wide-eyed dreams and big plans
And as the cameras flash in syncopation
Our hats fly off in pure elation
The last four years will not have been in vain
It just wont be the same

And so we end with today
I'm selling souls to get by
'Cause Sally Mae wants her pay
And my pockets have run dry
So I swipe the card and keep on owing
I work so hard my friends stop showing
I drink the dreams all gone in this place
Everyday

Just fall into the crowd
I'm just a number now
But they don't care what I have got to say
I'm leaving all my doubts
And I am screaming out
Today, today, today

I took the screams and the shouts
The smiles slapped on my face
Because my pride has worn out
And I've been put in my place
Pray to God these lyrics take me higher
To a beat up van and a flat tire
Reality is just four steps away

Just fall into the crowd
I'm just a number now
But they don't care what I have got to say
I'm leaving all my doubts
And I am screaming out
Today, today, today
Oh

Just make this thing go faster
I want my ever after
They think that I am lazy
I think I'm crazy
Just make this thing go faster
I want my ever after
They think that I am lazy
I think I'm crazy
Just make this thing go faster
I want my ever after
They think that I am lazy
I think I'm crazy
Just make this thing go faster
I want my ever after
They think that I am lazy
I think I'm crazy

Just fall into the crowd
I'm just a number now
But they don't care what I have got to say
I'm leaving all my doubts
And I am screaming out
Today, today, today
Oh
