(Verse 1 - ELI, Excited, Hyper-Cynical Rap Flow) Yeah, the news dropped, saw the headline on the feed The seasonal distraction, planting the hype seed The calendar’s marked, the prophecies are true The cyclical savior that they keep pushing through It’s the nostalgia hit, the comfort that you crave A temporary fix for the souls they can't save We line up in the drive-thru, ignoring the price Pretending that this sauce can make the current times nice It's engineered desire, baby, a controlled release A little taste of yesterday to grant us temporary peace (Pre-Chorus - CODY, Melodic Vocal, Building) The hunger is real, but the promise is thin You know the ingredients, but you still wanna dig in It’s always the same feeling, the same rush, the same crash We buy the fantasy, we burn up the cash (Chorus - CODY & ELI, HUGE, Shouted, Euphoric/Sarcastic Anthem) McRib is Back! Yeah, the promotion is running McRib is Back! Every year, they keep us stunning It’s a perfect temporary fix for the emptiness inside We're addicted to the flavor that the whole damn world provides It’s the comfort of the moment, and the promise of the void A manufactured memory we'll all never avoid (Verse 2 - ELI, Aggressive, Critical Rap) They learned the algorithm, they perfected the art Keep the hunger simmering, tearing us apart If they gave it to you permanent, the magic would be gone You need the scarcity to last you from dusk 'til dawn Look at us, driving circles, chasing that limited taste While the real problems fester, getting ready to waste It’s the consumer trance, the most predictable event Every craving satisfied, every argument spent We forget about the real food, we forget about the truth Distracted by the promise of reclaiming our youth (Pre-Chorus - CODY, Melodic Vocal, Building) The hunger is real, but the promise is thin You know the ingredients, but you still wanna dig in It’s always the same feeling, the same rush, the same crash We buy the fantasy, we burn up the cash! (Chorus - CODY & ELI, HUGE, Shouted, Euphoric/Sarcastic Anthem) McRib is Back! Yeah, the promotion is running McRib is Back! Every year, they keep us stunning It’s a perfect temporary fix for the emptiness inside We're addicted to the flavor that the whole damn world provides It’s the comfort of the moment, and the promise of the void A manufactured memory we'll all never avoid (Bridge - Music drops out to a dissonant synth noise and the distant sound of a cash register dinging repeatedly. CODY's voice is raw.) Why do we keep falling for the same old trick Because the disappointment tastes familiar. And familiarity is cheap (Chorus - CODY & ELI, HUGE, Shouted, Euphoric/Sarcastic Anthem) McRib is Back! Yeah, the promotion is running McRib is Back! Every year, they keep us stunning It’s a perfect temporary fix for the emptiness inside We're addicted to the flavor that the whole damn world provides It’s the comfort of the moment, and the promise of the void A manufactured memory we'll all never avoid McRib! McRib! McRib!
