[Verse 1]

If I was like the rest of you

I think I’d be depressed

How do you find meaning

Sitting all day at a desk

How do humans do it

This has nothing to it

Fluent in some bullshit

And they just keep pushing through it

If I lived my life like that

I’d have nothing left

So much in my head that

I would have to keep repressed

But I’m a creative

Now I just have to make it

Or I’ll die

A 9 to 5 will be my cause of death


[Chorus]

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain


[Bridge]

All the ladies in thе front

And the fellas in the back (Ayе)

Come and show us where the funky rhythms at

All the ladies in the front

And the fellas in the back (Aye)

Drop it down girl show him where it’s at


[Verse 2]

I know you got rent to pay

I know it’s expensive

But surely you have passion

Somewhere else in your perspective

You’re choosing to survive

When you could choose to live

I bet this wasn’t what you had

In mind when you were kids

Is every day a Monday

Until it’s the weekend

Then you spend two days watching

Shit or sleeping in your bed

Then it’s back to the mundane

Back to wanting it to end

Go back to doing nothing

Contemplating in your head


[Chorus]

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain


[Verse 3]

Sacrificing thrills to pay the bills

That smile is superficial

If only we had something more to give

Than conforming to

Society’s normality

Where you can’t defy the gravity

Aren’t you sick of chasing something

You will never catch?


[Chorus]

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain

Same shit

On a different day

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

Try to brush it off cos you gotta get paid

It’s vanilla plain

So vanilla plain
