Lyrics

Just sick of all the pretending we're doing all the time
Like, I don't think we should be letting these autistic kids score touchdowns
I know, I know, makes me sound like a monster
I'm just saying, if you don't know, at the fourth quarter of every high school football game
Now they're putting in the autistic kid
He's like, "I'm gonna be a touchdown, we all cheer"
Look, I get it, I'm not mad at him, it's just the pretending, okay?
Also, he's already got his own Olympics
It just feels greedy at this point
To come for the fourth quarter of every high school football game
Like, he's gonna be special for the rest of his life
These high school jocks, it is all downhill from here for them, alright?
This is their last shot at glory being taken away from them
There's not a day we pretend they're good at stuff they're bad at, that doesn't happen
It's not a day where, like, Kyle, the quarterback, gets to show up at AP Calculus
And just be like, "The square root of forty-nine is hypotenuse"
And then all the Asian kids are like, "Yeah! Yeah!"
"Kyle's, like, an engineer for today"
"Kyle can be anything he wants"
It's like, "No, he can be a personal trainer, what are we doing here?"
Goddamn, it's just all lies, all the time, you know?
Even sober people, I get jealous of sober people
For how many likes they get on social media
For telling you how long it's been since they last had a drink
I see this all the time, it's like
It's been eight-hundred and thirty-two days since I last had a drink
Thank God for AA, and that shit blows up
It goes viral, it's like, "Like, like, you're amazing"
"You're the best, keep it up, like, like, like"
And I'm sitting there watching that, being like, "All you did was nothing"
Like, you literally haven't done something
Why are we celebrating this so much?
Also, what the hell happened to the anonymous part, huh?
I'm feeling like you're just guilt-tripping me at this point
Maybe I do have a problem, alright
Just amazing to me, bragging about doing nothing
Can incels do this?
Can incels be like, "Yeah, it's been fourteen-hundred and thirty-two days since I last had sex"
"Thank God for Comic-Con"
I couldn't have done it without Fortnite, you know
You always should be bragging and you almost never hear from them
Functional alcoholics, they're the ones
Who should be bragging, but they gotta keep it on the down low
We got some here tonight, well done
I just want you guys to pipe up a little bit more
And be like, "Yeah, I've been drunk at work eighty-three days in a row"
You may haven't noticed yet
Where's my chip, you know?
Oh, you guys are fun, alright
