"Anti-Convinience Junkie"

DESCRIPTION: sigh thanks pinocchiop for the inspiration I Guess (onion+)
fyi this isn't actually a dig at what it looks like, it's a metaphor

[ intro ]
Back in the day, we used to walk 5 miles to school
and when we got home, we listened to music on CDs
Unlike you kids of the empty modern day,
we had a tangible sense of reward in our hands

...........................

[ verse ]
Back in the day, we used to wash clothes manually
and head to the town plaza every day to buy new food
But nowadays, we don't see eachother's faces so
let's go back to the inconvinient world of yesterday

[ prechorus ]
Yes, it's dark, but that just makes it more
special when the sun peeks through
Yes, I'll run, but it's sensible when
this world is falling under us

[ chorus ]
Yeah, I'm an anti-convinience junkie
Getting some slow-food, waiting hours for my meal
Yeah, I'm an anti-convinience junkie
Search for days just to find that the album is sold out everywhere

Yeah, I'm an anti-convinience junkie
And you should be one too
Because everybody else
is driving the world to ruin

[ verse ]
Back in the day, we didn't have sick people like you
or if we did then we burned them on the stake
Because I'm aware of the awful people online,
I'm going to isolate myself completely

[ prechorus ]
Yes, it's dark, so let's go back
and pretend it was lighter then
Even through factory smog we'll love
and pretend this was the right choice for us

[ chorus ]
Yeah, I'm an anti-convinience junkie
Switched to a dumb-phone, didn't want to be seen
Yeah, I'm an anti-convinience junkie
Found the album I was looking for but it cost a thousand bucks

Yeah, I open up my phone
and saw a beautiful article
Yeah, I messed up, but so did you
Nobody's perfect

And so all of us
are driving the world to ruin

[ bridge ]
Back in the day, we used to walk 5 miles to school
and when we got home, we listened to music on CDs
Unlike you kids of the empty modern day,
we had a tangible sense of reward in our hands...

as we worked our souls away.

[ chorus ]
Yeah, is this modern-day really so bad?
With drastic measures, we don't communicate
Yeah, is this modern-day really so bad?
We hoped cutting of our nose would teach the face a lesson

[ outro ]
Wanting someone to love us, while unable to love them back
Wanting someone to work for us, while sleeping and complaining
Wanting to stay alive, but being unable to breathe any longer
With drastic measures like these, we'll soon become...

World-destruction junkies,
turning back time for no reason except
wanting an excuse to be childish again
