lyrics

don't ask or i might tell you!
i'm in the land of the big TVs
like a kid the day after Christmas
exchange or refund, listen to me

the man-bun guy won the raffle
and walked out with a big TV
I'll be your Starbucks in a rainstorm
pickles and ketchup in a cardboard sleeve

10 million dollars cash, tax free
if you don't want it, would you give it to me?
death metal t-shirts, static and fuzz
and here i was
here i was

a conversation in confidence
no hetero affection: conflict again
10 angry tenants, all of them sighed
the nasty neighbor killed the vibe

cold-looking people or mortal men?
i ate a salad and listened from the next door apartment
run for the boredom, fill it with bags
tater tot pizza, niblets and Tab

100 million dollars cash, tax free
if you don't need it, would you please give it to me?
Megadeth t-shirts, static and fuzz
and here i was
here i was

i may never like anything again
i may never like anything again
i may never like anything again
i may never like anything again

big TVs

10 or 20 dollars cash, tax free
if you don't want it, would you give it to me?
Bob Marley t-shirts, "Jammin'," "One Love"
and here i was
here i was
