about

we're donating half of the money you pay us for this song to abortion funds, because a bunch of insane people are on the supreme court, because some other insane people lost the vote and still became the president. also american healthcare is not very good regardless and this specific part of american healthcare is particularly difficult to access, even though it's still technically legal at the moment.

this song is pretty self explanatory but i made it without any instruments except for an analog synth which is just a big metal box of wires and knobs. i recorded myself plucking steel cables that hold up a stair railing for the bass. i recorded the vocals with my roommates present which is why you can hear them laughing at me. if you have any other questions feel free to text or call.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I don’t wanna move anymore
I don’t wanna find a new place to sublet
I don’t wanna figure out which shit is my shit and which shit is just shit I have too many t shirts

It takes me forever to eat breakfast
and I always skip lunch
I don’t know what I’m gonna do for dinner
I don’t know what’s gonna happen to us

We don’t have any money
We don’t have anywhere to go
Cram ourselves into New York or LA
Or sublet forever in Chicago

Where there’s dust jamming the airvents
Shower curtain’s covered in mold
If I miss one deadline
I’ll miss them all

Verse 2:
Antidepressants
Made me a sociopath
I stole my best friend’s girl
I broke into your house

And Stephanie baby
It’s not your fault you don’t believe in me
You gave me 102 chances
I needed 103

So if you’re happy with him
That’s really really great
That’s really really really
Really really really great

Verse 3:
Fuck it let’s vote for joe Biden
Let’s go back to 2016
When nothing bad ever happened
When we drone bombed children in peace

I’m so checked out
This new war won’t phase me
Sure, Sudan or Iran
They probably won’t send me

If I plan this just right
If I save all my tips
I can retire just in time
For the apocalypse

We’re not gonna fix
All this shit in time
The tidal wave will hit
As we’re picking up dimes

They’re pointing the titanic
right at the iceberg
They’re not worried about it
they’ve got it insured

I don’t want the future
I don’t want the future
I don’t want the future
I don't want the future
I don't want the future
I don't want the future
I don't want the future
You can have it back
