wageslave melancholia


If I could make a bunch of money I would i would I would 
If I could take my time
You know I wouldn’t try you know I wouldn’t try 

And I just wanna own some land 
I’ll let the rafters leak until I am sand 
Fortune is smiling 
A great big toothy grin

The most important thing about me
Is that I do my best
Stretching high like a potted plant
There’s something in the water 
Or maybe that’s just Walter he was found last week 

And I just wanna
Buy a ranch
Build out the slaughterhouse un-
Til I can dance
I’ll find a pitchfork 
And wear my Sunday best

No one will notice if you give it everything 

If I could make a bunch of money I would i would I would

The Most Important Thing About Me Is That I Do My Best

I wanna be your favorite girl 
Like it’s a diorama 
Leaning on little plastic trees 

And if I can’t be your favorite 
I’ll learn to be less important 
I’m just a figurine 

Take me gently in your hands 
Place me on synthetic grass  
Or maybe on the cotton snow 
Just wherever is pretty 
Wherever you need me

I’m digging roots up from the sand
Here in our diorama
Hoping you’ll come to til the land

Take me gently in your hands 
Place me on synthetic grass  
Or maybe on the cotton snow 
Just wherever is pretty 
Wherever you need me
