lyrics

I’ve quit complaining about my accounts
My dollars and cents don’t make sense
The amount that I have is much less than I thought
I’d be making at twenty-three

If I’m being honest, I guess I could work a little more
But it’s so boring pouring all of my time
Into paperwork and emails
That a human might not even see

I’d like to think that
I’m still young and I’ve got time to choose
But I’m running low on Ramen
And I’ve got no time to lose

Yesterday
I was sitting pretty with my dollhouse
Looking for some kids to play
Now I’m in the city on my broke ass
Waiting for a call, or a sign
If you want to thrive you’ve got to toe the line
Or you’re gonna be poor

My motivation is fleeting again
I furrow my brows as I browse
The same ten jobs I’ve seen
On every site I search on my screen

If my pen could take on a sword
I wouldn’t be so bored - Excalibur could write my cover letter
And maybe then my quest for purpose would end up better
And set me up to be a go-getter

I’d like to think that
I create my own reality
But the lack of emails back
Is killing the morale in me

Yesterday
I was sitting pretty on my swing-set
Looking for some kids to play
Now I’m in the city on my broke ass
Waiting for a call, or a sign
If you want to thrive you’ve got to toe the line
Or you’re gonna be poor

Got an interview
But I want to die
‘Cause other candidates in question are more qualified
Thought I had it but
I never got a call back
Another fallback, another grey sky
I’m running in place
An occupational race to chase something
I could be proud to call mine

Yesterday
I was sitting pretty with my dollhouse
Looking for some kids to play
Now I’m in the city on my broke ass
Waiting for a call, or a sign
If you want to thrive you’ve got to toe the line
Or you’re gonna be…

Yesterday
I was sitting pretty on my swing-set
Looking for some kids to play
Now I’m in the city on my broke ass
Waiting for a call, or a sign
If you want to thrive you’ve got to toe the line
Or you’re gonna be poor
