You caught a glimpse of somethin' that's catchin' your eye

You want to buy this thing, no good reason why

S.O.S. (S.O.S.)

You've got shiny object syndrome

You spent a bunch of cash on crap you don't need

You bought a hundred books that you're never gonna read

S.O.S. (S.O.S.)

You've got shiny object syndrome

You're trying to get your life more organized

But this cast iron skillet's got you hypnotized

Bought a Peloton to improve your physique

And now you're movin' on to be a vegan for a week

Bought a drum set and you practiced it daily

'Til you decided you wanted a ukulele

Bought a journal to record what your mood is now

Then threw it all away because you said you'rе Buddhist now

S.O.S. (S.O.S.)

You've got shiny object syndrome

Evеrybody get up and wave your hands

All the kids with the low attention spans

Say it loud so everybody understands

Why you spent a hundred bucks on gluten-free pants

Hop inside the metaverse, take VR for a spin

Buy some virtual land so you can flip it and win

Be a crypto conquistador, clever and conniving

Making coin like you're royalty, medievally thriving

NFT-eez nuts, buy a monkey or cat

So we can cashew outside, how 'bout that?

The stuff that you have you can't enjoy

'Cause you're always on the hunt for that next new toy

You think this'll spark some life inside

Feel a rush, buckle up, get a dopamine high

You're cruisin' now in a car that can drive for you

Whatever it takes to not have to think things through

(Five, six, seven)

Monotony (Monotony)

Shake up the monotony (Shake up the monotony)

Break up the monotony (Break up the monotony)

Of your life

Buy a dream (Buy a dream)

You deserve something (You deserve something)

To break the monotony

Of living your life

You've got, you've got

Shiny object syndrome

Ooh
