lyrics

My wallet is full as a fucking balloon
It's bursting at the seams with nothing
My lazy, jobless self is rotting
Away in my room, got no cash on me
No one wants a kid without
Experience in tossing bullshit around
It’s been four weeks, and no one’s called me
Well, who am I kidding? I’m getting nothing
I’m jobless, broke and penniless
My life’s a mess, help me clean it up
Backing off to 60 in the fast lane
101 South, trying to get to Westlake
All for some summer job
I’d only be working for two months anyway
I watch the gas needle start to fall
Draining my pockets ‘til there’s nothing left at all
My heart sinking just as fast
As I'm wondering about how I’m gonna last
I’m jobless, broke and penniless
My life’s a mess, and I’m sick of this
Oh, sweet capitalism
Draining out my optimism every day
Opportunities are less than equal
When you’re fighting a mob for less than meager pay
It’s like a rat race trying to navigate
The social infrastructure of this fucked up place
You know I’ve seen it, I mean it, I’ll do it today
If burning all of it down will make it go away
Fuck your values, your exploitation
Of all the kids without an education
And let the others just fall by the wayside
It's evident that I'm worthless in your eyes
