Why am I awake? Doing things that could just as well be done in daylight, theoretically, but speaking of daylight, here's what Aes Rock says:

We the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine to five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pastimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope

Okay, nobody's paying me to get better at this... and it may not matter how good I am... and I may never find a way to tell... and you don't get what you want just because you tried hard... and I don't know how hard I can try anyway... but Aesop Rock has something else to say:

"But-- but maybe I do." Yeah yeah, maybe it's all over
Maybe I won the game before the machine ate my quarter

On the other hand, it's like, if you don't give up when things look worst, when are you going to take the hint and GIVE UP already?
