you're proud of your blue state bona fides getting dusty on your shelf
but they'll never change the fact that if my dad was someone else
i'd make six figures moving data on spread sheets

you tell me i should be glad
you want me to bite my tongue til the damn thing bleeds
until it bleeds

i can't make me keep a job
if the things worth working for don't pay
i'm not gonna let them rob
the best years of my life away

and you think it's all because i want it easy
who the hell are you to judge what makes it easy
for me?

you've been to school a few years you think you understand
how hard it is to live your life, you feel for the common man
but you never talk to anyone in your new neighborhood

cash rules everything around
but you can never buy authenticity
authenticity

i can't make me keep a job
if the things worth working for don't pay
i'm not gonna let them rob
the best years of my life away

and you think it's all because i want it easy
who the hell are you to judge what makes it easy
for me?

old or young, if you've been blinded by your comfort
do you think you have anything to offer to me?
don't be frightened, you're so fucking enlightened
you accept downward mobility
if it don't happen to you
