This is a diagnosis
And it's a catch 22
You live a long life
Doing what you have to do
I feel like miss America I'm filling Gasoline
Watching commercials at the pump because they have a screen
Pickup my cigarettes and scratches for the ritual
Working to afford to be another individual
I'm always feeling like it's not the way it's supposed to be
Until I get my little fix I get my dopamine
We've been set up since we were kids
You're where you're supposed to be
Right where you're supposed to be
Supposed to be
It's not a diagnosis
It's a catch 22
You'll live a long life doing what you have to do
It's not a diagnosis
It's a catch 22
You'll live a long life doing what you have to do
Oh it's a 22
You live a long life feeling bad for being you
You run away from love you don't even mean to
You ask the stranger in the mirror what they see in you
What's wrong with you
That's not what I want for you
You're so misunderstood
They want you thinking that
You couldn't change the things you could
They like the way it works
Too busy working to work it out
Until you're in the dirt
So if you get a shot make it hurt
Capital manipulates the labor
Make a bag it feels like it'll save you
The Money never acts against its nature
Fuck the cops the banks the legislature
Murderers, presidents and mayors
Status quo capital or life
Don't let them choose
They won't think twice
Don't let them choose
They won't think twice
This is the diagnosis
It's the catch 22
You'll live a long life doing what you have to do
This is the diagnosis
It's the catch 22
You'll live a long life doing what you have to do
This is the diagnosis
It's the catch 22
You'll live a long life doing what you have to do
