Be Yourself, Terms Apply

[Intro | cheerful | hold music | group vocal] Thank you for choosing yourself. Your identity is important to us. Please stay on the line. Please stay on the line. [Verse 1 | clipped | toy keyboard | close vocal] Mara bought the boots the riot wore Four easy payments, maybe more Factory holes above the knee Certificate of anarchy Ben got “NO GODS” across his chest From a sponsored artist in Bucharest Posted, “I refuse to be defined” Then checked the numbers forty times [Refrain | bright | handclaps | stacked vocal] Be yourself Terms apply Cancel anytime Pick a side Make it yours Choose your size Be yourself Terms apply [Verse 2 | dry | rubber bass | close vocal] Sadness came in seven shades Trauma launched a fall campaign The panic attack had gorgeous light So somebody filmed it vertical, twice A wellness brand sold desert peace With code AWAKEN, twenty percent Three hundred strangers typed “so brave” While she moved the lamp beside her face [Refrain | buoyant | cheap strings | stacked vocal] Be yourself Terms apply Tell your truth Monetize Bare your teeth Optimize Be yourself Terms apply [Verse 3 | restless | prepared piano | close vocal] Down at the Anti-Corporate Fair A bank had rented half the square Free canvas totes said QUESTION POWER Presented by a telecom tower The radical bookstore took a card The commune hired a branding firm A man in handmade hemp declared “You cannot sell what happens here” His shirt was forty-nine ninety-five Available in black and five Other colors [Break | awkward | room tone | spoken chorus] Authenticity verification required.

[Outro | uncertain | electrical hum | distant vocal] Thank you for choosing yourself. Your identity is important to us. Your identity is important to us. Your identity is [Last Note Held | END]
