lyrics

we wake like an ocean
sleep gripping dear life
I'm driving my death trap to my nine to five
never met my employer but I'm sure he's nice
says if I break my back, someday I'll have his life

but I killed all the cowboys
and I can show ya how, boy
and I killed disco

excuse me waiter
there's fluoride in my soup
there's lead in the food
gloomy Sunday on loop
skipped the avocado toast and coffee frou frou
cuz you got by on three bucks an hour in your youth
I'm renting my dream home
no such thing as a free load
I'll be paying student loans the rest of my life
fingers crossed you can't take it with you when you die

oh, but I killed all the cowboys
and I can show ya how, boy
and I killed the radio star

we wake like an ocean
sleep gripping dear life
I'm biting my tongue and it sharpens the knife
enjoy your social security checks
why raise minimum wage
I can eat or pay rent
I've seen hospital bills
parenthood is a trap
put our lives on hold, wait for the market to crash
while your good ole' days suffer from memory lapse
I'm hanging myself up by my own bootstraps
