VERSE 1
Top of the morning Scott
I smoked a bowl to get me started,
ate a piece of toast, I picked my nose and then I farted
To my dearly departed: you know I feel you when you're feeling broken-hearted
No time to waste or we're going to end up where we started
Just take the shot, you might hit the target
My inbox, Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram
those Bumble/Tinder apps keep me retar-uh
Can't say that, lockdown's got you 'bout to lose your mind
'cause there are no distractions left to eat up your time
PRE-CHORUS
All aboard, bandwagon's leaving soon
but you never really had a clue
and if the world caught fire, you would hold the hose
but you wouldn't know what to do
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
VERSE 2
So where the heck have you been?
Go within, how else are you gonna win?
If I wanna draw blood, I might as well do it with the fucking pen
Don't cross me when I'm writing, t-t-that's a sin
I can't imagine how we end up in trouble yet again
It's like a vicious cycle, a battle that you're never gonna win
when you're flailing like a fish with no fin
A major cringe with a tinge of virtue signaling BS once again
I've already made my peace with the world if everything were to end, so i say
PRE-CHORUS
All aboard, bandwagon's leaving soon
but you never really had a clue
and if the world caught fire, you would hold the hose
but you wouldn't know what to do
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
BRIDGE
Lifted up, glimpsed the cold light of day
but then the spirit called and took their lives away
so as the veil comes down for us to see right through
Forfeit a filthy dollar, find another revenue
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
