My Parents Paid My Rent Until I Started My Career Marvel at my Adulthood by The Michael Character Lyrics
Two millenials sit
Hole-in-the-wall, hype restaurant
Hole-in-the-Waldorf Astoria prices
Food like: what the natives really eat!
Conversation like: Sitcoms taught me how to speak!
Always on camera
Always on phone
One talks about student loans, the other replies
Roth IRA
We are adults, we know what a Roth IRA is
We listened to that wiz kid friend, that online article
That older colleague that taught us what a Roth IRA was all those days ago
“Contributions not tax-deductible but upon withdrawal no taxes yo!”
But did that other table hear us though?
Did they hear me say Roth IRA?
I'll bet they are impressed
We are impressive; we are adults
We worked for this tabbouleh
Drop hints to wealthy family
“Need to buy that condo now
Need some help for payments down
Need to generate greater wealth across generations!” well…
What else would you be if you were me?
With privilege, money, health, and greed?
Don’t sit in judgement, please, and don't moan all, "Police & poverty"
We worked for this tabbouleh
Drop hints to friends and family
We are adults, we are "real," we are adults, we are "real," We are adults, we are "real"
These are the dumb things that keep our minds at ease
When full tummies, weed, and high salaries don't quite cut it
Emotional rut in
Just not feeling like myself today
Perhaps my golden throne could use a memory foam cushion?
