lyrics

Existence is exhausting and the cost of getting up and getting by is going through the roof
And if the landlord doesn’t fix that leak in the ceiling that same roof is gonna cave in too
My bootstraps are covered in shit, it’s hard to get a grip, but thanks for the advice
I’m on a steady diet of caffeine, dead dreams, fingernails, beans and rice

I make just enough to pay my rent
And keep myself and my addictions fed
I make music with my friends
We play shows on the weekends
And I try and see my family when I can
Living well is the best revenge

Walk along streets the sun don’t reach, admire houses I will never afford
I’m working 60 a week just to sleep in sheets on a damp carpeted floor
All my time and money wasted on an education qualifying me to bag produce or pump gas
A piece of paper hanging on my wall I’d get more use out of if I wiped my ass

I make just enough to pay my rent
And keep myself and my addictions fed
I make music with my friends
We play shows on the weekends
And I try and see my family when I can
Living well is the best…

“Smile wide through every little tyranny
We’d rather have a worker than a human being
Work until you forget how much your body hurts
And Christmas is just another day of work”

I make just enough to pay my rent
And keep myself and my addictions fed
I make music with my friends
We play shows on the weekends
And I try and see my family when I can
And I treat myself to a warm meal now and then
And maybe someday I’ll be able to afford a bed
But ‘til then…
Living well is the best revenge
