“Carry On Wayward Son” – Kansas (1976)
| Carry on my wayward son | |
| Wtf dad, what is wayward? | |
| For there’ll be peace when you are done | |
| Done with what? Is this about college? I know you said science is a safe bet, but I’m gonna be a film major. Kevin Smith is a huge inspir- | |
| Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |
|
| I’m not crying, you’re crying! | |
| Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high |
|
| Oh no, is this another story about you doing acid as a teenager? I’m not on drugs. And no one does acid anymore. | |
| Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I’m dreamin’, I can hear them say |
|
| Dad, those are flashbacks. You probably need to see a doctor. | |
| Carry on my wayward son For there’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |
|
| … does this mean you’re not going to give me shit about film? | |
| Masquerading as a man with a reason | |
| Oh my fuck. | |
| My charade is the event of the season | |
| … are you trying to come out? Because if so that’s totally cool. | |
| And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don’t know | |
| Wait, so… | |
| On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say |
|
| Wtf dad. | |
| Carry on my wayward son For there’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |
|
| It’s not that big a deal, anyway. You don’t have to have a specific degree to get a good job anymore. | |
| Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor |
|
| Wait, you’re not dying, are you? | |
| Now your life’s no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you |
|
| Am I dying?? | |
| Carry on my wayward son For there’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |
|
| I gotta go. |
