the michael character – fame swoll (27) lyrics

you own a house and take care of a baby
i’ve got 72 likes on a facebook post
i’m hanging out with undergrads on a friday night like i’m not 27
past the point of “oh my gosh, my friend got married!”
to the point of “all my godd+mn friends are married…”
i’ve been in clean work+out clothes
alone in my apartment, sitting in the dark on a wednesday

scrolling through my contacts, wondering where a friend is
i don’t wanna spend my late twenties watching netflix
i’m trying to get fame swoll now don’t wanna drag ten people to some sh+tty bar show downtown
cup or cone at jp l!cks with rena after dinner
or on the road eating rest stop pizza on i+80 in the summer

i remember where i’m at
and remember i’m not jazzed about it
cause i might spend the next year living worse off than the last one
and i might not enjoy my job as much as i do now
and i might waste a decade chasing meaningless credentials
i might wind up feeling lower than i have since college
sh+t that’s a scary thought

so now i live in a nine by eight foot room
i’ve got them non+linearity of progress blues
i wanna live better by the metrics that mean something to me
i need degrees
i need prestige
i need famous friends who say hi to me
i crave that elitist bullsh+t that makes me feel superior
i need it i need it i need it i need it
i need it i need it i need it i need it
i need it i need it i need it i need it
i need it i need it i need it

but you can’t chase that sh+t forever
eventually we wake the f+ck up or we settle on our own terms
i’ve got this false credibility my scene points bought me but i’m not really smarter than anybody else
and when you root your sense of self in the power you’ve garnered
you shackle happiness to hierarchical garbage
and i know, i know
i’m not some punk seventeen year old with a chip on my shoulder
i’m lazy and bored and ten years older
ten years

ten years, ten years, ten years, ten years
ten years, ten years, ten years, ten years

ten years
ten years
ten years
ten years
ten years

ten years
