How I Survived the Market Crash

LYRICS
I was too scared to be a martyr
Didn’t wanna let down my father
Spent 7 years of my life
Saying I don’t wanna do this tonight
So I slept through the bombs and the barters
And realized I lowkey had daughters
So I started packing my things
Had to hope I wasn’t being an idiot

There is something seriously wrong when men in this country think they are charming
They don’t got it
But they want it
And they’re never gonna get it

So we blame it on the severance
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

When I met you
Did you think I was scared?
Had a bullshit job but I left it Ayer (ah ah…)
Got drunk at the holiday party
And you took me home didn’t think it was funny
Now i burn books as a side hobby
And all my friends listen to Garbage
But I don’t wanna be an idiot
So I double down and don’t have kids
(Wait, what?)

Severance
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

And there you’ll be
With the stupid shirt you always wear
Call me a slur but I don’t care
We’ll watch a movie or two or three
And there you’ll be
Start to laugh cause you’re so funny
Wear your sweater like a rosary
And it’s everything I want it to be

So we blame it on the severance
Make me lose all common sense
Make me feel like an idiot
‘Cause I wanna be with you
(I don’t even really know what that means)
Star sixty seven it
Bleach my hair on the internet
Forget your name and then cry about it
‘Cause I wanna be with you

So we blame it onnnnnnnn
(You you you you you you)
(I wanna be with you!)
Blame it onnnnnnnn
(You you you you you you)
So we blame it-
(Blame it onnnnn)
On and on and on and on and on
(Blame it onnnnnn)
The severance
