Paycheck - Arms Akimbo

I got a seven dollar paycheck

And an eleven dollar meal

Yeah, if we’re ever gonna make it

I think we’re gonna have to steal

Ok excuse my bad conclusion, I’m just tryna make a point

But I hope we kick-start soon

And I think that you and me can make it if we just make something cool together

I hope that it starts soon

My dad says taxes are the problem

And I seem to blame it on LA

But no one’s holding me at gunpoint

So I got no leads on who to blame here

My girlfriend’s got a plan

Demanding all of her attention lately

Who am I gonna whine to?

Now I’m sleeping through the evenings

Saying art comes with the seasons

Am I wasting all your time today?

Maybe summer’s gonna pick me up

'Cause I’m spitting venom in every single word

And I lost my chance at being free

They started using my degree

I just want to do something right

And I just want to do something right

Let’s say we’re living in the Matrix

Somehow I take both of the pills

I feel a bubble in my stomach

Before the simulation kills me

Ok they’re sick of me pontificating, cinematic masturbating

Why won’t they just stop me?

Let’s focus on promotions, getting high and feeling broken

At least we’re all together now

Maybe summer’s gonna pick me up

'Cause I’m spitting venom in every single word

And I lost my chance at being free

They started using my degree

Maybe summer’s gonna pick me up

'Cause I’m spitting venom in every single word

And I lost my chance at being free

They started using my degree

And I know I’ve just been vindicated

Making my own words

Getting out of one is the best way to get trapped in the other

Because I’ve been soaked

I’m insatiable today

My slacks are rolled

But my jeans are ripped and torn and frayed

And I just want to do something right

And I just want to do something right

And I just want to do something right

And I just want to do something right

I just want to do something right

I just want to do something right

And I just want to do something right

I just want to do something right
