Unlimited Breadsticks, Soup And Salad Days
Broke and Bitter: Embracing Life's Irony through Unlimited Breadsticks
Lyrics
I bought a couch and a grill and a table with chairs
I purchased furniture and essentials for my home.
Paid for gas, like, the whole way down here
I covered the expenses for the journey, including gas.
Electric and cable, a shelf and end-table
I paid for electricity, cable, and bought some furniture.
Almost a hundred bucks' worth of veggie burgers and buns
Spent almost a hundred dollars on veggie burgers and buns.
I bought a case of beer and the charcoal to light
Purchased beer and charcoal for a gathering.
Said that we should do this every single night
Suggested making this a regular social activity.
Don't worry about the cash because I've got the scratch
I can afford it, so don't worry about the money.
And I can't save my money because that isn't polite
I don't save money because it's considered impolite.
I don't know why I always complain about something
I often complain even when there's nothing to complain about.
When what I got to complain about's nothing
Realizing there's really nothing to complain about.
No goddamn kid's had a luckier year
Reflecting on a fortunate year, but still complaining.
And I'm bitching about internet and beer
Complaining about trivial things like the internet and beer.
And just like that I'm broke, not a buck to my name
Suddenly, I'm broke with nothing to do.
And nothing to do with the rest of the day
No exciting parties, just TV and websites.
No parties last all night, just TV and websites
Feeling bored and stuck in a routine.
And reproduction Peanuts strips I've read a million times
Reading Peanuts strips repeatedly out of boredom.
So can we please ride bikes and not just sit inside all day
Suggesting a change, wanting to ride bikes outdoors.
Letting fresh Georgia air go to waste?
Noticing the irony of wasting fresh air indoors.
It's really not funny how bad I am with money
Admitting a lack of financial responsibility.
So let's pedal as far as it takes to think about something else
Suggesting a bike ride to divert attention from money issues.
I don't know why I always complain about something
Continuing the pattern of unnecessary complaining.
When what I got to complain about's nothing
Realizing there's no real reason to complain.
No goddamn kid's had a luckier year
Reflecting on a fortunate year despite complaints.
Somebody break out the No More Tears
Humorously referencing a need for a solution like "No More Tears."
I don't know why I always complain about something
Repeating the pattern of unnecessary complaining.
When what I got to complain about's nothing
Acknowledging the lack of real problems.
Could help out something, now everything's wrong
Suggesting that complaining doesn't solve anything.
And no one wants to be around me, no one wants to be around me now
Feeling isolated as a consequence of constant complaining.
As we sit around being broke
Reflecting on the financial struggle while being broke.
I'm losing my penchant for jokes
Losing the ability to make jokes due to financial stress.
It's just wry half truths from a privileged youth
Describing humor as half-truths from a privileged perspective.
With a constant nostalgia for bad times when they're through
Nostalgic for difficult times despite privilege.
I don't know why I always complain about something
Continuing the pattern of unnecessary complaining.
When what I got to complain about's nothing
Acknowledging the lack of real problems.
No goddamn kid's had a luckier year
Reflecting on a fortunate year despite complaints.
And I'm bitching about internet and beer
Complaining humorously about trivial things.
I don't know why I always complain about something
Continuing the pattern of unnecessary complaining.
When what I got to complain about's nothing
Realizing there's no real reason to complain.
Could help out something, now everything's wrong
Suggesting that complaining doesn't solve anything.
And no one wants to be around me now
Feeling isolated as a consequence of constant complaining.
Not then, not ever ever ever ever ever ever ever again
No one wants to be around due to constant complaining.
