I know exactly how he feels. You spend all this time working and you never get to where you want to be. Especially when he says, "I'm convinced I'm built for better things
And won't settle for the empty smile that cheddar brings
It seems like I'm working hard simply 'cause it's what they say I have to do
You graduate and then you either get a job or you go to school
12 years wasn't enough?
That's more than half of my life spent
Trying to make the world accept me"
Our generation is expected to go to college, because its either that or get a 9-5 job and work until we retire.
Travis basically is saying he doesnt want to live simple, he wants his life to be more than "The idyllic hard workin' type of callous feet
Complete with wife, kids, dog, house, and picket fence".
