Incel By Choice

[Verse 1] You wear the label like a crown But man, that word means “not by choice” You say it proud, you say it loud Like misery got your voice You built a brand from bad luck Then sold it back as truth Got a PhD in “it’s their fault” And zero in “me too” You post the same sad manifesto With a grin and a shrug Calling it a lifestyle Is a funny kind of bug [Pre-Chorus] Read the first two letters Take a closer look It’s not a club you join on purpose It’s the title of a bad luck book [Chorus] It’s involuntary That’s the whole story In-vol-un-tary Not a flex, not glory Involuntary You can’t make it sound cool In-vol-un-tary That’s just the word, dude (that’s just the word) [Verse 2] You talk like every awkward night Was some grand conspiracy But the mirror keeps the real receipts And they all point back to me You keep the name, keep the pose Like irony pays rent But if the “in” is doing work Then maybe it wasn’t meant You want the pity and the punchline You want both at once But grammar’s in the corner laughing And it’s been laughing months [Pre-Chorus] Don’t remix the meaning Don’t dress it up in gold If you chose the badge yourself Then the prefix didn’t hold [Chorus] It’s involuntary That’s the whole story In-vol-un-tary Not a flex, not glory Involuntary You can’t make it sound cool In-vol-un-tary That’s just the word, dude (that’s just the word) [Bridge] You could change the sign Could drop the act tonight One less costume in the drawer One less fight to fight But you love that little logo Love the joke gone stale Funny how the part that means “not chosen” Keeps the whole thing from sale [Chorus] It’s involuntary That’s the whole story In-vol-un-tary Not a flex, not glory Involuntary You can’t make it sound cool In-vol-un-tary That’s just the word, dude (that’s just the word)
