Life is a series of hit or miss incidents
Never replaying always in existence
It's alright
Baby I'm alright
You looked stressed
Why don't you sit down relax and we'll talk about college plans
Save for you future or else you won't have one
and I should know best
I'm a 55 year old man
I went to college
When it cost less to install a home pool
I went to college
When it wasn't necessary that's cool
I know your future
I've seen it 20 times before you
you are not a person you're a number that follows my rules
I know what you want
And I know what you'll never have
A happy life and stable income
That allows you to own 17 cats
You look stressed
But don't even think about smoking or going to therapy
Bury your stress down where no one can find it
And let it all out when there is noting to watch on TV
The Real Housewives
Are proof that I don't need any skills
All I need is a rich man
To pay my bills
They are my future
I'll binge until I stop breathing
Reject your icons and pray that you get on TV
I know what you want
And I know what you'll never have
A happy life and stable income
That allows you to own 17 cats
I know what you want
And I know what you'll never have
A happy life and stable income
That allows you to own 17 cats

I'm Quitting The Band

The tyrannical one
Doesn't pay me anymore
He said experience is key
When you're young, stupid, and poor
I don't need his money though
I'll go play on a bust street
But when I'm busking I'm the target
For people's garbage and receipts
oh no
I gotta quit this band
It's going nowhere real fast
And I don't care if they blacklist my ass
These people drive me crazy
We were friends but now they hate me
And I'm starting to feel the same about them
Part of me thinks
He's been hoarding all our cash
Buying guitars and bad tattoos
And one crazy big drug stash
Cuz I haven't seen a dime
And this is our 3rd show this week
He must be feeding some addiction
In which case there won't be receipts
oh no
I gotta quit this band
It's going nowhere real fast
And I don't care if they blacklist my ass
These people drive me crazy
We were friends but now they hate me
And I'm starting to feel the same about them
No I don't want to play a show at some kids birthday party
I'd rather take a bath and try to make a piece of toast
I'm getting out I'm running and theres no way you can stop me
And once I'm gone
You'll never see me I'll become a ghost
oh no
I gotta quit this band
It's going nowhere real fast
And I don't care if they blacklist my ass
These people drive me crazy
We were friends but now they hate me
And I'm starting to feel the same about them

Being treated nice is not a given in this world
If you want respect be a little bit better to very man, woman, boy, or girl
I don't care if it makes you feel bad
I don't care if it makes you feel mad
Thats not my problem
But I'll stop when I'm dead
Or I'll stop when you change
I can wait for either
Women must love you when you make comments like that
They must think it's real sexy when you treat them like a door
Why don't you just not talk today
Why don't you just not plug in and play
Make us all feel better
But I'll stop when I'm dead
Or I'll stop when you change
I can wait for either
You give freedom of speech a bad name
Mens rights activists like you they're all the same
looks like scarecrows gotta walk the yellow brick road again
to find his brain
Copy and paste a set of lyrics from the internet
Post it on your Instagram and see what comments you'll get
Oh you must be so complex
But your brains like a vacant duplex
no one lives in either side
But I'll stop when I'm dead
Or I'll stop when you change
I can wait for either
Paint yourself the victim when confronted at your kingdom
Of fragile masculinity you make the perfect trinity
You're a cringeworthy, victim blaming
Why don't you just stop complaining anyhow
But I'll stop when I'm dead
Or I'll stop when you change
I can wait for either
You give freedom of speech a bad name
Mens rights activists like you they're all the same
looks like scarecrows gotta walk the yellow brick road again
to find his brain
