lyrics

I went to grad school
And got some advanced degrees
I learned about physics
And the mating call of bees
I got real smart, much smarter than most
But what I pursued was a ghost

What have I learned and what have I got
Am I better man
Has it all been for naught
Where am I going
And what will I find
For all my knowledge
I don't know my own mind

I spend my days pursuing pursuits
I chase them down in my scuffed-up mental boots
Is it all academic, does it make any sense
Am I only living in the present tense

I'm the man who wasn't there
I'm the man who wasn't there
When I lived I occupied time and space
But when I left I did not leave a trace

Wish I was smarter and knew where I was going
Everyone around me
Somehow seems more knowing
All these things I do
Don't make me feel fulfilled
When it comes to living life
I guess I'm not that skilled
