I don't wanna be famous
I don't wanna be a rockstar
Really hoping that I don't go far, sub par
Broken dreams and a broken heart
We all wanna be miserable
Future's not discernable
Dig me a matching hole
Deeper deeper down we go
(Deeper down we go)
I don't wanna succeed
I'll only succumb to the greed
Sit there and watch me
Change is impossible, see?
We all wanna be miserable
CD on the turntable
CD is not passable
opinions are not factual
(they're not factual)
Please let me out
Desert oasis
Pouring drought
I'm so sorry I disobeyed
Please corporate master, I'll behave
I wanna be real miserable
Put me on the table
Pushing for scraps to get by
My parents said this is the life
(This is the life)
Check check
Bounce bounce
Return fees come pouring down
The only remaining symbol of love
Discarded in a box
Frozen in the car I cannot watch

Corporate Daddy (EP)
03:01
|

|
Corporate licensed island in the endless concrete sea
Visions of the past reveal themselves to me
Steal from those who stole from you,
Your dreams and love
Style, and youth
I'm lookin' for a corporation
To pay for some alterations
I'd like an operation or two
And hoping dental gets covered too
I'm sure most of us have considered a sugar lover
But in business you're still getting under covers
Steal from those who stole from you,
Your dreams and love
Style, and youth
I'm lookin' for a corporation
To pay for some alterations
I'd like an operation or two
And hoping dental gets covered too
Steal from those who stole from you,
Your dreams and love
Style, and youth
I'm lookin' for a corporation
To pay for some alterations
I'd like an operation or two
And hoping dental gets covered too

Gatekeeping's not very punk rock of you
Elitism will never make you cool
Didn't you learn back in school?
Don't you ever learn?
Treatin' folks the way that you do
Only gets you burned
Whether that's at the stake
Or just out of my life
Depends on the century, but you're dead to me
I'm alright
(Are you okay?)
I'm alright
(Are you okay?)
Transmedical doctrine doesn't make you more real
I don't owe explanations for what I've had to steal
Didn't you learn back when those risks were stacked
Don't you ever learn?
Treatin' folks the way that you do
Only gets you burned
Whether that's at the stake
Or just out of my life
Depends on the century, but you're dead to me
I'm alright
(Are you okay?)
I'm alright
(Are you okay?)
