lyrics

On a private island in the Atlantic
Lived a private family
My mother, my father, my brother, my brother, my sister and me
Then one day they sent me off to university
And I was introduced to endless possibility
I studied media and communications, moved to the single greatest nation
Got a job in prestigious marketing
Followed orders, practiced patience
I was on my way to prosperity
Then one day my boss, he fired me

What a stupid game
Everyday the same
Caught up in the competition
Thought that I could play
Thought I had a chance
How naive was I?
I did this to myself

Broken promises
How exploitative
How malevolent
I guess that’s what this is
It’s an exponential race to the top of a waterfall
An existential taste of the sky

Then they’ll build a dam in this metaphor
Harness hydro energy
With indentured servitude
Call it all a company
All I saw was make believe
American mythology
Credit hanging over me
And I am so damn sorry
Yeah, I am so damn sorry
I did this to myself
