michael cormier-o’leary – obtain lyrics
[verse 1]
you own the house now
the one you grew up in
i say it’s got charm
you say it fell to sh+t
and anyway
you need the cash
[verse 2]
no keys in the fake rock
or underneath the mat
your mom changed the locks
the time she caught your dad
out with the girl
from auntie anne’s
[verse 3]
your brother rolls up
in his green sedan
weed smoke and leather
two of his bonehead friends
stare at your ass
honking the h+rn
[verse 4]
start in on the kitchen
sanitize the sink
decades of neglect
are caked on everything
impossible
to scrub off
[verse 5]
i label the boxes
that you stole from work:
keep, donate, landfill
old precious heirlooms, and burn
i’m trying to
help how i can
[chorus]
everything we want
becomes another thing we have
becomes extra weight to carry
becomes something else to move
[post+chorus]
we were once as light as air
[outro]
we live and we obtain
we live and we rapidly accumulate
then we buckle from the load
we live and we obtain
