lyrics

I got ratio'd today on twitter
a 5G free trump bumper sticker
fast food breakfast, lunch, and dinner
the drugs keep me from getting sicker

turn off the wi-fi robot vacuum
and text my wife from the next room
long ass meetings everyday on zoom
too lazy to walk to the bathroom

these things
it's always something

I watch tik tok just for a minute to understand the jokes on reddit
I do no work take all the credit
I buy more shit to keep my credit score

I won't repay but let me borrow
no fix-it pill for me to swallow
I'll drive my diesel hybrid tomorrow
I need some gluten free avocados

these things
it's always something

my call of duty's to win the war
while a nine year old doubles my score
I'd clean the house but I'm too bored with all this shit I can't afford

my AI grill cooks everything right so I can sleep soundly at night
can't dream anymore from all the drugs
the american dream's been realized

these things
it's always something
these things
they add up to nothing

when I think of this ridiculous life and the things we need just to get by
it's capitalism by design
I'll help whoevers next in line
