Out all day till the brink of night
Drowning myself in McDonald's sprite
                                    
                                     Searching for a pixie to set me straight
                                     Suffocating under this social weight

Credit turns to debt
Happiness to regret
                      
                       All of those years sitting idly by
                       Was just me trying to find a life

Now I sit behind square one
Able to have it all redone
                            
                              One dream at a time with a chaser
                              Let it steam slow like a bomb paella

Money money money and no humor
Society's secret malignant tumor
                                      
                         ­               Focus on the fixing
                                        and don't worry about missing

We'll find it all soon
If your world outgrows the room

                Oceans are dead and the whales want blood
                Sacrifice the thicc rich and they'll send you love
Marla, '99-'19, Born to die an exploited worker bee in corporate America;
use their remains as compost and get back to work!
