Bags Beneath Our Eyes Video (MV)

John steals books at the library
He reads them all
And then he gives them to me - Oh no
But what an interesting felony

He doesn't know what to do with his life yet
He ponders the future
As he sucks on a cigarette
I think he's earned more than he will get

While I'm at the age where all of us start getting tired all the time
Yeah, you look at us up close and you see the bags beneath our eyes
You may write us off as brainless, but I still think we're kinda wise
As we try to research truth inside this library of lies

Eric wants to live off his wits and the land
He's hangin' out with a joint in his hand
It's all working out
And he don't even have a plan

He speaks to me in story and metaphor
And you may disagree
But I know that he's better for
This crazy life to which he foreswore

While I'm at the age where all of us start getting tired all the time
Yeah, you look at us up close and you see the bags beneath our eyes
You may write us off as brainless, but I still think we're kinda wise
As we try to research truth inside this library of lies

Who gives a f*ck about a college degree
If it's not helping you become who you wanna be
Just take some time to learn about the world and scout
Don't need fifty grand a year to figure yourself out

Bryan goes to college, like me and you
An actor
Though you'd think there's much more that he could do
But I don't think these years he will come to rue

He's got a mind like none I've ever known
I'll never repay all the kindness that he has shown
The countless times that by him
My mind's been blown

While I'm at the age where all of us start getting bags beneath our eyes
Yeah, we're tired and we're lonely but the world we scrutinize
You may write us off as brainless, but I still think we're kinda wise
As we try to research truth inside this library of lies
