THE COST OF LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE Video (MV)

'You look more and more like a Tech CEO each time I see you'
Said my best friend as we met for lunch at Nobu
True, I'd let myself go
Bought a longneck wool skivvy and done my own hairdo
Next came the unironic denim and a focus on 'doing' words
It's a miracle I haven't moved to Perth
Gave my friends a wide berth
Disrupt desert to reignite consumer mirth
But for what it's worth the pain still hurts
Yeah for what it's worth the pain still hurts
I enable friendship lunches
I circle back to act on my hunches
Did you ever really think for a moment I could care about you
I read the paper in earnest
I would be the first in the furnace
But at least the smoke from my body
Could block out the sun for a second or two
And in the centre of the ventricles it starts
Worming it's way all around my heart
That's broken in two from a failed resume
Compounded by an overdraft fee and that's that
Moment that radicalised me
It wasn't the years of foreign policy or genocide
But when my hip pocket got burnt by AI
It's all fun and games until I can't afford a tie-dye
I receive positive feedback
I'm on my knees for a corporate kickback
I'll tell you anything you want me to
If it means I get an Amazon gift card too
I read the paper in earnest
I would be the first in the furnace
But at least the smoke from my body
Could block out the sun for a second or two
But I've run out of ideas
