lyrics

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

We all wanna be 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
