Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be sober, but I love getting high
Wanna give it a hundred percent, but I'm too afraid to try
I wanna be faithful, but love hooking up with randos
I wanna live by the law, but still think like a vandal
[Verse 2]
I wanna get exercise, but I'm too lazy to work out
I want all the finer things, but don't wanna go to work now
I wanna go outside, take my family to the beach
I wake up in the morning, first thing I do is look at a screen
At a screen
[Verse 3]
Wanna live freely, why isn't it so easy?
I should read a book, but I keep watching this TV
And I know this lifestyle doesn't really feed me
I just tune out to the voice inside that's speaking
[Verse 4]
All my little problems keep on building up and building up
All my good intentions just ain't good enough, can't find the love
So I smoke until my lungs are full and drink until I lose my cool
Apology's my middle name and one day I will change but
[Verse 5]
I'm okay with who I am today
I'm okay with who I, who I am today
[Verse 6]
I want world peace, but I wanna watch Worldstar
I know that I should stay home, I still wanna kick it where the girls are
I wanna be a feminist, but I'm still watching porno
I wanna eat healthy, but I'ma eat this DiGiornos
[Verse 7]
We live on social media, read other people's thoughts
Tweet about justice, but don't show up to the march
I think about the earth and I think about the eco
What am I willing to sacrifice at the expense of my ego?
[Verse 8]
Wanna live freely, why isn't it so easy?
I should read a book, but I keep watching this TV
And I know this lifestyle doesn't really feed me
I just tune out to the voice inside that's speaking
[Verse 9]
All my little problems keep on building up and building up
All my good intentions just ain't good enough, can't find the love
So I smoke until my lungs are full and drink until I lose my cool
Apology's my middle name and one day I will change but
[Verse 10]
I'm okay with who I am today
I'm okay with who I, who I am today
I'm okay with who I am today
I'm okay with who I, who I am today
