I got a 7 dollar paycheck
and an 11 dollar meal
If we’re ever gonna make it 
I think we’re gonna have to steal

Ok excuse my bad conclusions 
I’m just tryna make a point
But I hope we kick-start soon
And I think that you and me can make it 
if we just make something cool together
I hope that it starts soon

My dad says taxes are the problem
And I seem to blame it on LA
But no one’s holding me at gunpoint
So I’ve got no leads on who to blame here

My girlfriends got a plan 
demanding all of her attention lately
Who am I gonna whine to?
But I’m sleeping thru the evening 
saying art comes with the seasons
Am I wasting all your time today?

Maybe summer’s gonna pick me up
Cause I’m spitting venom at every single one
And I lost my chance at being free 
The day I started using my degree

I just wanna do something right

Let’s say we’re living in the Matrix
And somehow I take both of the pills
I feel a bubble in my stomach
Before the simulation kills me

Ok they’re sick of me pontificating
Cinematic masturbating
Why don’t they just stop me?
Let’s focus on promotions 
Getting high and feeling broken
At least we’re all together now

Maybe summer’s gonna pick me up
Cause I’m spitting venom at every single one
And I lost my chance at being free 
The day I started using my degree

And I know I’ve just been vindicated
Making my own way 
Getting out of one is the best way to get trapped in the other

Cause I’ve been sold
I’m insatiable today
My slacks are rolled
But the jeans are ripped and torn and frayed

And I just wanna get something right.
