Lyrics
Watch the spark die out inside your corporate prison
It's a mark of the times and we all gotta give in
The gig economy is the place to be
Its the year of the rat and the vermin speak
Promises they made aren't staying true
And the rich get richer, nothing you can do
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
Boy you gotta be
What they don't want you to be
Girl you gotta do
What they're not going to
If all the trains I've rode and the people I know
Have taught me one god damn thing
It's that a life under their thumb
Is not a life worth living
When the evening news is giving you the chills
And your ride-sharing app won't pay the bills
Reality can't be undone
They're playing god without permission
It feels like were the butt of a joke
And the world is just one big ol' hoax
What timeline is this
We're stranded and we're so pissed
Boy you gotta be
What they don't want you to be
Girl you gotta do
What they're not going to
If all the trains I've rode and the people I know
Have taught me one god damn thing
It's that a life under their thumb
Is not a life worth living
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
It's a mark of the times and we all gotta give in
The gig economy is the place to be
Its the year of the rat and the vermin speak
Promises they made aren't staying true
And the rich get richer, nothing you can do
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
Boy you gotta be
What they don't want you to be
Girl you gotta do
What they're not going to
If all the trains I've rode and the people I know
Have taught me one god damn thing
It's that a life under their thumb
Is not a life worth living
When the evening news is giving you the chills
And your ride-sharing app won't pay the bills
Reality can't be undone
They're playing god without permission
It feels like were the butt of a joke
And the world is just one big ol' hoax
What timeline is this
We're stranded and we're so pissed
Boy you gotta be
What they don't want you to be
Girl you gotta do
What they're not going to
If all the trains I've rode and the people I know
Have taught me one god damn thing
It's that a life under their thumb
Is not a life worth living
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
And so we learn to love
This boring dystopia
