Lyrics

What's that you say?

Expressing curiosity or disbelief about the other person's statement.

You're trying the best you can?

Acknowledging the effort put forth by the other person.

Keep up your facade

Suggesting the maintenance of a false front or appearance.

Of sympathy, of empathy

Highlighting the pretense of compassion and understanding.

Keep acting like you care

Advising the person to continue feigning concern.

While the world hands you everything you'll need:

Commenting on the ease with which the person receives everything.

On a silver platter

Emphasizing the effortless abundance or privilege symbolized by a "silver platter."


Spoon in your mouth

Describing a life of luxury and ease, akin to being born with a silver spoon in one's mouth.

Pat on the back

Commending the person, possibly sarcastically, for their achievements.

Congrats on your uncontested win

Congratulating the person on their success without facing challenges or opposition.


What's it like to never work a day in your life

Questioning the experience of never having to work for a living.

Pretending that you struggled through a system built just for you

Calling out the pretense of struggling within a system designed for the person's benefit.


What's that you say?

Repeating the inquiry in line 1, expressing doubt or disbelief.

Oh poor me? Oh poor you?

Mocking a self-pitying attitude and questioning its validity.

Privilege got the best of you

Accusing the person of being negatively influenced by their privilege.


What's it like to live your days in total lies

Asking about the experience of living a dishonest life.

Pretending to care for others while you

Highlighting the contradiction of pretending to care while celebrating unearned advantages.

Celebrate all that's been handed to you

Describing the act of reveling in the privileges bestowed upon the person.

What's it like to win every goddamn time

Pondering the feeling of constant success without facing challenges.


Spoon in your mouth

Reiteration of the silver spoon metaphor, symbolizing a life of privilege.

Pat on the back

Mockingly patting the person on the back for their unchallenged victories.

Congrats on your uncontested win

Congratulating the person again on their uninterrupted success.
