[Intro]

Insert a quarter

If life's worth living with anxiety disorder

Stealing every instant

A pained existence for no good reason

Insert a quarter

To sing your blues to the windows voice recorder

A tree in a forest, falling on purpose

With no one there to hear

[Verse 1]

Press start to open

A nice career as a software boy in Oakland

Press some keys and hoard your wealth

Or maybe you could kill yourself

Well you know, it’s always an option

[Chorus 1]

I've been trying so damn hard

To pick myself up off the ground

It's one step forward

And nineteen backward

Why can’t I just play these songs, please?

And still eat

[Verse 2]

New game, continue

Your save's corrupted but it's better than what you'd go through

Starting a new one

Too old to waste time, but too young to hang it up

So pick a dead end, chill out 'till you die

[Chorus 2]

I've been trying so damn hard

To pick myself up off the ground

It's one step forward

Twenty backward

Why can't I just play these songs, please?

And still eat

’Cause no one

Will pay me to live a decent life
