"Complain" lyrics

"Complain"

I like to complain
You like to complain
We can all complain together
Whine about our moms
Bitch about our dads
Blame 'em on the warmer weather

Bachelors degrees
That no one really needs
Money you're too young to borrow
Tellin' all your buddies
That this wasn't whatcha studied
But you'll see 'em all at work tomorrow
If you're lookin' for a home
Go and dig a hole
Dig it deep, for good potential
Tiger King was crazy
I always thought that I was lazy
'Till I found out that I was "essential"

I like to complain
You like to complain
We can all complain as one
We can all agree
Nothing's what it seems
Sit back and watch the liars run

Dance another jig
Work another gig
Do your best to grin and bear it
Sure, it ain't that perfect
But I reckon that it's worth it
Life's a nice thing to inherit
It's good to let it out
Give a little pout
Feels alright to pass some blame
It wasn't me or you
They just told us what to do
And the nation up and went and changed

I like to complain
You like to complain
We can all complain as one
We can all agree
Nothing's as it seems
Sit back and watch the liars run

I like to complain
You like to complain
Could it be a generational slogan?
A phone's a two-months wage
Made by child slaves
Is it worth it just to watch Joe Rogan?
