lyrics

Words and music by Andrew L. Jackson

Now I’ve waited for a long time
In this empty space in line
On a barstool in the desert, mine
Without a reason or a rhyme

I’m empty of all purpose, I’m
Just living a day at a time
Making effortless decisions, trying
With no real sense of what is mine

So what’s the takeaway?
I don't feel there’s any takeaway
Just a shadow of a doubt
And very little that is sound
So what’s the takeaway?
There isn’t any takeaway
And if you’ve got it figured out
Then save it ‘till no one’s around

The world has waited for a long time
Waiting till all needs are satisfied
A psychological pantomime
Without a reason or a rhyme

Unauthorized future minds
Don't want to go back in time
Their purpose is ambiguous
A feedback loop of all that’s mine

So what’s the takeaway?
I don't feel there’s any takeaway
Just a shadow of a doubt
And very little that is sound
So what’s the takeaway?
There isn’t any takeaway
And if you’ve got it figured out
Then save it ‘till no one’s around
