Wordless 04:18
Verse 1: I don't go to school and i don't have a job I refine my OkCupid until I'm a heart-throb I don't know how to weld and I don't know how to sew But if you need I can help you watch for free any show I've never read Virgil but I majored in Literature I've read DFW 'cause that's what my Profs preferred I wake up at 11:30 follow instagram girls if they're pretty know that I will get more likes if my status is less wordy. Verse 2: I know why Miley's popular, I know Aubrey Drake as @champagnepapi I ball so hard on Tinder not even free dinner can stop me I prefer books to my parents, and Vice.com to my friends I'm on eBay and Amazon, looking how little I can spend My dog is mad 'cause music videos are NSFW She's like please fucking pet me and I'm like bitch I do not fuck with you My step-dad thinks I'm lazy I think he should go solar, I see his patience waning like the ice-caps that are polar, Chorus: I don't know what I'm doing Even though I've a degree And my resume looks worse off with my Thesis in poetry And the real world seems fucked up, and they want, Me to be an adult But I would rather be on the internet Just like every Millenial Verse 3: I've gotten disturbingly good at posing for Instagram pictures I pray that when I get a job I'm making double digit figures I ride my bike and tell people its cause I'm scared of global warming But really last time I took my mom's car and she left me off with a warning But I'm actually very terrified of potential natural catastrophes Cause some people think its inevitable and others think its not happening And I don't know what is happening and I'm confident but I'm nervous Cause I've invested in my cleverness but might be better if I were wordless. Chorus: I don't know what I'm doing Even though I've a degree And my resume looks worse off with my Thesis in poetry And the real world seems fucked up, and they want, Me to be an adult But I would rather be on the internet Just like every Millennial

Get That Guy 03:55
Verse 1: He doesn't really wear underwear And he likes to dress as if he didn't care And he once gave me half his jelly and butter And now I really want to be his lover Chorus: I want to get that guy I want to get that guy I want to get that guy Oh Yeah Verse 2: He never acts like he's got something to prove Though, he's got more swag than any dad at the Louvre And his smells indicate he's kinda weird But I just want to put my tongue inside his beard Bridge 1: I really want to show him how I want him and I want him now But I don't want him to think of me in the wrong way Chorus: I want to get that guy I want to get that guy I want to get that guy Oh Yeah Bridge 2: Though I am only in seventh grade I know what love is though not what it takes And adulthood doesn't really begin till you're fifty So until your mid-life crisis who cares about age Verse 3: And he rides his bicycle to class And when no ones looking I look at his ass Chorus: I want to get that guy I want to get that guy I want to get that guy Oh Yeah (instrumental--killer solo by Anthony)

PARTY 04:45
Verse 1: The rooms are lit by Christmas Lights Everybody’s dancing even though some are white Drinking white wine on a coastal city Everybody’s sweaty, everybody is pretty Eating cheesecake someone left in the fridge, There’s none left when everyone takes a smidge Some want conversations, some just want sex Everybody’s face lights up when they think they get a text Fun is prevalent, but so are garagebands If you’ve seen a band too much does that mean that you’re a fan Put your bike in the foyer, tie your sweater round your waist Some relationships are open to taste other people’s face Hook: In all of the chaos is just a search for connection Whether it manifests in a laugh a game or erection Hook: In all of the chaos is just a search for connection Whether it manifests in a laugh a game or erection Verse 2: Crying kids puking so they can keep drinking Trying to stop trying to figure what people are thinking Every person trying to talk to pretty girls Rather be in this party than out inside the world Megalomania coming out of the speakers Sad eyed people are the daytime readers Some people need beer just to talk to each other Some people need beer just to talk to their brothers Receiving from father late night drunk texts Its not a good idea to right now call your x I’m just gonna tell her that I still love her Even though oedipally she looks like my mother Chorus: In all of the chaos is just a search for connection Whether it manifests in a laugh a game or erection And Since we went secular, there’s no better way to congregate The party’s just a ploy to get us all to participate find people to imitate find people to satiate find people to procreate And then we start it all over and celebrate Verse 3: Instead of beer he brought Thanksgiving ham, I Took a shitting selfie for my instagram Crop-top beginners and experienced male sinners Drink PBR and eat each other for dinner Its often a bad idea to listen to your mother But she’s probably right when says to use a rubber I’m eating my phone and my friends are oblivious I’ll dance to David Bowie though he might've been fascist Boys want to be the guy with all the pictures Show all their friends the options they can pick from Collared shirts and words that hurt and making glasses cool Wondering if in ten years you’ll be with mortgage and pool

Verse 1: I'm a hungry, hungry man Coming home from work, And when I haven't eaten I can be kind of a jerk So I go to the fridge And what do I see Someone ate all of my food All the food I have to eat Chorus: I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due Verse 2: So I go to my housemates But they aint say a word So when I come back for them They'll be singing like birds I go back in my room Pull out my machete Gonna make them pray to Yahweh Make them wish they never met me Chorus: I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due Verse 3: So I go back to my housemates And they notice the blade Then they start freaking out Saying oh shit man wait We know we forgot your birthday With my hand round his throat We bought you a mini-fridge Put your food in it as a joke Chorus: I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due I'm a hungry, hungry man and i want my food I don't want to get mad I just want what's due I know that when I'm hungry I can be kinda rude I am sorry for being such an uncool dude I don't want to get mad I just want what's due

Light Up 03:30
Verse 1: Lying in bed, everything is hair Breathing both together, we're never gonna get married Parents bring us breakfast, They say your so reckless I kiss all your freckles, then bite upon your necklace Rain falls on the window, and smiles as it does And Jesus is in my kitchen, making pancakes for us Verse 2: Lying in bed, whispering our thoughts Anything we think, neither us thinks wrong I am made of gunpowder, you scream out you are mine My bed is tied to hot air balloons, so we're fucking flying You massage my toothe-ache, my hamper is at war We are watching two clouds play chess, this is what we're made for
