lyrics

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You haven’t heard a single word I’ve said
You’re not even listening
That shit’s gonna rot your brain
I can be a better girlfriend
I can be a better girlfriend
Than the ones in your video games
The ones in your video games

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I wish the Black Panthers were still around
All lives matter yeah but a
White girl in the Black Panthers
That would have been so bad ass
God, I so miss high school
Free rent, free food, and a swimming pool
Does anything really last
Does anything really last anymore

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I still love Harry Potter
Ya think I’m too old to read Harry Potter?
When I’s a kid I had a better brain
When I’s a kid I had a better brain
You ever think about the afterlife?
Of course you don’t, all you think about’s getting high
Being dead is gonna be so strange
Being dead is gonna be so strange

So strange, so strange

There’s this guy who plays tuba in the subway
Between the A-train and the E-train
He makes homeless look so good
He makes homeless look so good
Is this all we’re really gonna do
Smoke some ape berry
And make our parents’ nightmares come true
Our parents’ nightmares come true
You’re not even listening

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
