lyrics by Milo Cramer, music by Deepali Gupta
context: Gil and Jen are on a first date. They challenge each other's assumptions about dating and partnership. 

Sometimes I worry
You can only really meaningfully
Connect with somebody
Whose parents have the same amount of money
As yours did growing up

Otherwise your personalities and values
Are too incongruous to be compatible
It's impossible

That's why I can't do dating apps
Cause they all ask, what's your favorite band?
When what's beneath that question is,
How much money do you have?
How much money do you have?

I went to a kindergarten 
With a six percent acceptance rate
How could I possibly sincerely go on a date?

All marriages are arranged marriages
Dates are job interviews
Tinder is LinkedIn
Romance is sorting

Sometimes (Jen's Song) From Cute Activist

lyrics by Milo Cramer, music by Deepali Gupta

I want to live with you
In a house that has three different colored bedrooms
One for each of our three children

One red bedroom
One blue bedroom
One yellow bedroom

One child good at math
One child good at sports
One child good at art

One child who plants trees
One child who rides horses
One child who hates everything

Imagine you get home 
From the office, early
Summer Friday

The kids are all in high quality 
After school enrichment programs
And in those brief golden hours 
We can do crosswords

And have generous oral sex marathons
Every night for eighteen years as we grow old

One girl child
One boy child
One non-binary child

In a house with an upstairs and a downstairs
And a front yard and a back yard...
Little bedtime rituals, college tuition...

One (Gil's Song) From Cute Activist
