lyrics

Infinite loop of Hotel California
Flying around at the end of my rope
We like to have fun here just thought I’d warn ya
Living on while abandoning hope

The Court ruled 6 to 3 that I’m fucked
But I still gotta be a stock image girl
Met a married woman she told me it sucked
Who am I to say that I’m Ms. World?

I wear smiles like they’re a facehugger
Just hope they can’t tell

But that’s just the way it goes pull those bootstraps until your ankles bleed
It’s the 8 hour day standing still ‘til it’s time and you leave.

Someone teach me some proper optimism
I’m too young to look back at my past
Seeing life with a pink romanticism
My naïve delusions never last

Money wins over soul this I know
Sisters selling themselves to the guillotine
It’s a losing game it’s all a show
Real life strikes you down serpentine

My boss knows I’m easily startled
But I think he means well

But that’s just the way it goes pull those bootstraps until your ankles bleed
It’s the 8 hour day standing still ‘til it’s time and you leave.
