[Intro] [Spoken Word - casual mid-range baritone, dry, sarcastic] Oh yeah, totally. The problem is definitely my avocado toast. Which is weird... Because I hate avocados. And I make my coffee at home. [Pause] But please. Tell me more about fiscal responsibility. [Instrumental Djent Groove] [Heavy Bouncy Riff] [Verse 1] [Aggressive Mid-Pitch Scream] Back in your day, you bought a house With a handshake and a factory wage! Had a pension, had a big backyard! Had a wife at home and a paid vacation! [Gritty Clean Singing] Now you look me dead in the eyes While I work full-time and still hit the ceiling! [Clear False Cord Shouts] What the fuck is a pension?! What is retirement?! I'll be punching a clock 'til the day that I die! [Gritty Clean Singing] But tell me I should save a little more While you guard the door to the American Dream! [Pre-Chorus] [Fry Grit - building] You climbed up first Then burned the rope Called us weak While we carried the load [Chorus 1] [False Cord Shouts + Gang Vocals] Avocado toast and Starbucks! That's your lazy fucking excuse?! Blame the kids for the wreckage While the ladder rots in your hands! Avocado toast and Starbucks! Go ahead and say it again! "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!" You know that's physically impossible, right?! [Instrumental Groove] [Syncopated Guitar Riff] [Verse 2] [Gritty Clean Singing] Have you tried walking into the office, Looking the manager in the eye, And giving them a firm handshake? Have you tried not needing healthcare? [Aggressive Mid-Pitch Scream] They told me to apply online! Then an AI bot threw my résumé away! [Spoken Word - casual, deadpan] That bot was probably approved By a guy who still prints his emails. Can’t open a PDF without calling his nephew. But he’s in charge of the hiring software. [Breakdown Tease] [Clear False Cord Growl] Apply online. Get denied. [Chorus 2] [False Cord Shouts + Gang Vocals] Avocado toast and Starbucks! That's your only fucking defense?! Blame the kids for the wreckage While the ladder rots in your hands! Avocado toast and Starbucks! Say the line just one more time! "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!" It's literally physically impossible by design! [Bridge] [Spoken Word - quiet, bitter, controlled baritone] Your parents survived the Depression. They buried friends in world wars. They came home from Korea. They broke their backs so you could have a better life. [Pause] And you did. You got the house, the pension, all without a college degree. [Clear False Cord Growl - building] You got the ladder, and you pulled it up! You'll never let go of the wealth or the crown, So, we're just patiently waiting for nature to take its course! [Breakdown] [Full Djent Groove Drop] [Clear False Cord Shouts] You'll take it all to the grave! While we inherit the stone! You made a hell of the earth! Just to protect your throne! [High Fry Scream] Time is the only thing we have left! We're just waiting you out! [Slow Breakdown] [Mid-Pitch Growl - clear and spaced out] And. You. Wonder. Why. We. Hate. You. [Gang Vocal Chant] Drop the keys! Leave the throne! [Outro] [Spoken Word - calm, deadpan, casual baritone] Anyway. Coffee’s free at home. [Hard Stop Ending]
