about

This song was inspired by a book called The Golden Compass, written by Philip Pullman

lyrics

This is my friend Mark
I think he’s a 10 out of 10
he likes to kick me down the stairs

We are BFFs
I think that’s why he breaks all my stuff
he gets to do what he wants
or I get punched in the junk

What the hell was I thinking?
my future self is cringing
I can’t believe I could ever be so wrong

It’s awful and I know it
Embarrassed by the moment
The monkey’s not as golden as I thought

My eight-year-old self
would lose his shit on a trip to Mickey D’s
there’s nothing better than a happy meal

Now as an adult
I can’t fathom why I’d go there to eat
cuz what I thought was D lish is so obviously garbage

The big mac I just ordered
tastes like fancy cardboard
but as a child, I love to throw them down
My younger self expired
now my tastes buds are much wiser
that burger has no business in my mouth

That nice lady seemed so lovely at the time
but now I know she’s super evil
it disgusts me knowing that she pulled one on me

I do the best I can
I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed
but I hope my future self can recognize and be forgiving
