LYRICS
I’m pretty sure life is pointless
Nothing we do could ever change
So rob a bank, throw your gerbil in the oven
Go ahead and suck on your cousin
Why not?
It’s all meaningless, then we die and rot

In my wisdom and my years
I’ve confirmed all my fears
Of the true nature of life
And that is

That life is letting your phone drain
Then charging your phone
Then draining your phone
Then charging your phone
Then draining your phone
Then charging your phone
Then your grandfather dies

Yeah, life is letting your phone drain
Then getting a brain tumor
From all that time near your phone
And then you charge your phone
It’s just the same, repeated et cetera
So wallow in your weariness, it’s not getting better-a

I’m told “Life is what you make it”
You only get what you give
Be positive, and life will be”
But that involves me abandoning
My nihilistic identity which allows me to no longer have grow as a person so no

Life is letting your phone drain
Then charging your phone
Then draining your phone
Then you try gay stuff in college once, and you don't hate it
Charging your phone
Your grandfather dies again, the first one wasn't your real grandpa
Draining your phone
Then charging your-
You're still thinking about that magical night in the dorm room
It's why I still use a vibrating toothbrush

I don’t want to grow
I don’t want to change
You might have it better
But I’m familiar with the pain
Here’s a list of things I like about my life
Like I'm...Shit...Uh...I'm 6 feet tall
Why would I wanna try at all
Why would I try (×why would I try)
Oh - I've got an average sized penis
THAT'S TWO THINGS

Life is draining your phone
Then charging your phone
Then draining your phone
Then charging your phone - sing it with me!

I'm not gonna delve deeper into how much I enjoy assplay
It's so scary
Draining your phone
Then charging your phone
(repeated, gets quieter)
