"First World Problem" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Artwork by Henrietta Harris

Lyrics:
When I woke
I found my phone in the bed clothes
and the curtain glowed crimson through the window
To think of her was to want her
Would you want me too?

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem 

I know that I was better as a loser
She's eating birthday cake inside the disco
I may be lost but I'm a lost man
In love with you

She's got it all and yet
She's betting all she has on a first world problem 
You've got to understand
That I could be your man or a first world problem

LOTP

and i don’t know better
but i do know best
i just say whatever
and hold my breath

i’m not all together
i won’t find the rest
lost in a temper
break down, coalesce

cause i got a mean bone in my body
if i want then i can
never mean it when i’m sorry
and i’m sorry for that

not the life of the party
i lay low, lay low, lay low
but i still got a heart beat
i know you know i know
not the life of the party
i lay low
but i still got a heart beat
oh

hold it together
and you let me guess
it’s hard to remember
what anything meant

you’ve known me better
when i’ve been your best
but i can’t win forever
you take what you get

cause you got a mean bone in your body
if you are then i am
always mean it til i’m sorry
but i’m sorry for that

not the life of the party
i lay low, lay low, lay low
but i still got a heart beat
i know you know i know
not the life of the party
i lay low, lay low, lay low
but i still got a heart beat
oh

got gravel embedded in my hands
caught myself falling for a concrete plan, ah
throwing stones like confetti
and i’m never really ready for it
