Siddhartha

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Young Siddhartha went down the promenade

Wearing a graphic tee of a Basquiat

Matcha in hand with a newly lit

Newport cigarette like the summer in Rhode Island, can't forget

The girl the mischief the drugs and the rest that follow suit when you’re with the likes of a baroness

You learned high class from the new English best

But never felt like you belong

'Cause back back way back you read a book by Kerouac said: It's who i am

And there's no changing that

The financе degree’s only for a show

So you can have peacе on your college radio

State school only let you get so far as a house show in College Park

Kicking it with kids from Bristol and Baltimore

Never understood the Silver Spring fold

When all you've touched has been made of gold

The Midas way of Arundel old money

And culture and class and Calvert Hall

Disillusionment's a gift but you still want it all

'Cause back back way back you read a book by Kerouac said: It's who i am

And there's no changing that

The finance department knows what it's for

So you can drive home in your shiny navy Volvo

He said: What am i if i can't buy my clothes

And my politics aren't a shade of gold

Oh these consequences are set in stone

Marie Kondo’ll never know

Why you can buy actualization

And turn it into cheap religion

He said: What am i if i can’t buy my clothes

And my politics aren't a shade of gold

Oh these consequences are set in stone

Marie Kondo will never know

Why I live my life in clarendon 36PT bold
