about

Day jobs in your 20s. And maybe 30s.
Recorded/mixed by Eric Arm at Headroom Audio, West Hollywood, CA

lyrics

He said
"Tell me all about yourself, why don't you?" And I
Turned red.
"Can I have a week or two to think about the question?"
Tell my friends I'm open to suggestion.
Gonna write my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
So I know what is true
I'm drawing up the chapters of my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
And I gotta get back to you...

She said
"This is quite a resume you've got here" And I'm
Brain dead.
"Can't you call the people on the list and they can tell you?
It just feels too weird to sit and sell you."
Gonna write my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
So I know what is true
I'm drawing up the chapters of my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
And I gotta get back to you...

I shouldn't even be here
The harder I think of me I disappear

They said
"Call us when you know which way you're going - with that
big head."
How can I explain I don't want all of the attention?
I'm just fine with honorable mention.
Gonna write my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
So I know what is true
I'm tearing up the chapters of my AUTOBIOGRAPHY
And I gotta get back to you...

We keep reinventing ourselves
Hoping to find out we're somebody else
