[Verse 1] Woke up with a backache I don’t remember earning, Coffee’s gone cold, while breakfast is burning. Bills on the counter, kids screaming down the hall, I used to shout from mountain tops—now I've hit a wall. [Verse 2] I was fire and fury, always marching in the street, Now I’m drowning in dishes, dead on my feet. Used to rage at the system, scream about the news, Now I fight to stay awake, a fight I always lose. [Pre-Chorus] And the guilt keeps knocking louder on my door, Tired eyes can’t find what I’m looking for. [Chorus] I’m just a regular millennial burnout, Really gotta figure all my shit out. How the hell did I get here? every time I blink, I’ve lost another year. Life's a dumpster fire that won't go out, Laugh to keep from crying from my self doubt. But I’m just a regular millennial burnout. [Verse 3] Thirty-six candles, but the flame feels gone, Karaoke nights turned into sing along dawns. All my friends got older in the blink of an eye, We used to chase freedom—now we all chase Wi-Fi. [Verse 4] Age spots on my skin, aches in my bones, Debt on my back from my payday loans. I swore I’d never settle, I thought I’d never fade, But life had other plans and bills need to be paid. [Pre-Chorus] And the dread hangs heavy like a permanent cloud, I don't recognise myself, another face in the crowd. [Chorus] I’m just a regular millennial burnout, Really gotta figure all my shit out. How the hell did I get here? every time I blink, I’ve lost another year. Life's a dumpster fire that won't go out, Laugh to keep from crying from my self doubt. But I’m just a regular millennial burnout. [Bridge] I had plans, I had fire, I had fight in my veins, Now I’ve traded that ambition for neck and back pains. The dream got delayed, then it slipped through my hands, I’m raising kids on the rubble of my broken plans. [Final Chorus (big choir, powerful, layered voices)] I’m just a regular millennial burnout, Really gotta figure all my shit out. How the hell did I get here? every time I blink, I’ve lost another year. Life's a dumpster fire that won't go out, Laugh to keep from crying from my self doubt. But I’m just a regular millennial burnout. We thought we’d change the world by now, no doubt— But we’re all just a bunch of millennial burnouts.
