about

A dream-pop opera about the bleak prospects of prosperity for the youth and the coping mechanisms thereof.

lyrics

We spend all our money on foolish things
We spend all our time staring at our screens
We're spending our lives pursuing our dreams
But they haven't amounted to anything
And now we're cynical of everything

But we pretend it's okay

Millennial century of hidden fees
A nation of servers with hard-earned degrees
Working to pay off the cost to compete
But we won't be left with anything
And now we're cynical of everything

But we pretend it's okay

It won't be long until we're fighting for the scraps
They sent us along with promises of a fighting chance
But it's not what they had us believe
And there ain't no prosperity
But now we can see the things we don't need
So we can set ourselves free
