Built to last

(Verse 1 - Lean into the mic, dramatic pause)My Tesla died on the charging pad last night,Autopilot failed, now I’m outta sight,(Toss hair back, wink at the crowd)My golden doodle ran off with some hipster’s vape,Left me scrollin’ TikTok in a digital escape. (Chorus - Raise a White Claw can, sway side to side)Oh, I’m drunk on White Claw, feelin’ so low,My non-binary pansexual partner said “I’m a no-show,”(Kick a holographic tumbleweed)My Tesla’s toast, my doodle’s gone astray,This futuristic heartbreak’s the Gen-Z way! (Verse 2 - Strut across the stage, glitchy spotlight)I swiped right plenty, but they ghosted me fast,My pronouns got tangled in a Wi-Fi blast,(Dramatic kneel)The solar panels flickered, my crypto took a dive,Now I’m chuggin’ seltzer just to stay alive. (Chorus - Crowd sing-along, fist pump)Oh, I’m drunk on White Claw, feelin’ so low,My non-binary pansexual partner said “I’m a no-show,”My Tesla’s toast, my doodle’s gone astray,This futuristic heartbreak’s the Gen-Z way! (Bridge - Spin, glitch effect on screen)I tried to NFT my tears, but the blockchain crashed,My smart fridge judged me when I grabbed the last stash,(Point to the sky)The metaverse dumped me, said I’m too IRL,Now I’m hashtag-broken with no soul to sell. (Chorus - Full band kicks in, confetti drop)Oh, I’m drunk on White Claw, feelin’ so low,My non-binary pansexual partner said “I’m a no-show,”My Tesla’s toast, my doodle’s gone astray,This futuristic heartbreak’s the Gen-Z way! (Outro - Slow fade, tip a nonexistent hat)So here’s to the future, where the vibes ain’t right,Sippin’ spiked seltzer ‘neath the neon light,My Tesla’s dead, my doodle’s long gone,But I’ll keep on dancin’ to this glitchy song!

[Verse] He was born where the red dirt flows, Under the pines where the wildgrass grows. With a slingshot in his back jeans’ thread, And a dirt bike helmet on his head. [Verse 2] He’d chase the creek for the biggest bass, Set his traps in the dewy grass. Fix up his ride 'til the sun went away, Riding the moonlight back to the day. [Chorus] Out where the coyotes call his name, Where freedom runs as wild as the flame. With a rifle close and his fishing cane, It’s a simple life, but he loves the game. [Verse 3] Sunrise breaks with the rooster’s yell, He knows every hill, every hollow well. Burning confidence on a muddy trail, Living for the stories he’ll soon regale. [Bridge] He don’t need the flashing lights, His heart’s as free as the starry nights. No paved road was meant for his ways, He’s got country in him that'll never fade. [Chorus] Out where the coyotes call his name, Where freedom runs as wild as the flame. With a rifle close and his fishing cane, It’s a simple life, but he loves the game.

[Verse] Well, Jane woke up with a pain in her side, Called up the doc, but he’s out on a ride, "Two weeks wait," the nurse said on the line, So Jane cursed the air, said, "Ain't that just fine?" [Verse 2] Next day her head was pounding so bad, Felt like her skull had a hammering mad, Pharmacy’s closed, and the lights went dim, No relief for Jane, patience grew slim. [Chorus] Oh, hard times for Jane, it’s a mountain to climb, Every ache and pain steals a piece of her time, She’s tired of waiting, fed up with the queues, This life's a hard pill she’s learning to chew. [Verse 3] By Friday her knee gave a snap and a crack, She hobbled on down with no doc to look back, "Emergency rooms? You’ll wait till next June." Jane just sighed, sang her frustrated tune. [Bridge] The clock keeps ticking, but help’s so far, The nearest good doc might as well be on Mars. Jane’s got a spirit as strong as the rain, But even the toughest get tired of the strain. [Chorus] Oh, hard times for Jane, it’s a mountain to climb, Every ache and pain steals a piece of her time, She’s tired of waiting, fed up with the queues, This life's a hard pill she’s learning to chew.

[Verse 1] Up north we like our leaders strong, To steer us right, to right the wrong. But you bowed your head, stayed silent too, While the winds of trouble came blowing through. [Pre-Chorus] Oh Doug, where’d your backbone go? When it’s time to stand, you stooped so low. [Chorus] Stand up, Doug, don’t just fall in line, We need more than your wavering spine. Strong hands guide, but yours just fold, Your silence speaks and your heart feels cold. [Verse 2] Trump came yelling, talking loud, Stirred the pot, fed the crowd. But while the leaves of our maple shook, You stood still, didn’t take a look. [Pre-Chorus] Oh Doug, where’s the fire inside? A leader’s got to stand, not hide. [Chorus] Stand up, Doug, don’t just fall in line, We need more than your wavering spine. Strong hands guide, but yours just fold, Your silence speaks and your heart feels cold.

Verse 1 I’m trying to get over you But nothing works no matter what I do Tonight I’m hoping something gives But it’s like raising the dead and making it live Got my windows down cruisin in the wind Hoping I can clean up the mess I’m in Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Verse 2 It ain’t like you didn’t tell me How you’d feel if I done you wrong But I didnt listen to what you said Now im putting the words into this song What I should of told you all along How much you mean to me Just wasn’t enough to not make you leave Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Bridge I hope your doing better these days Found you a man who makes you wanna stay Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow

[Verse] Shirley sits by her phone all day long Her voice like a storm when things go wrong Jerry’s in the barn just trying to hide From the fire in her tone and the tsunamis of her pride [Chorus] Oh Shirley Why won’t they call you no more Is it the thunder in your words or the slam of the door You got a heart deep down but it’s buried so tight Oh Shirley Maybe calm down tonight [Verse 2] She argues with Jerry ‘bout the silliest stuff How the gravy ain't thick Or the meat’s too tough But Jerry just smiles Tips his old cowboy hat He’s been through whirlwinds much fiercer than that [Chorus] Oh Shirley Why won’t they call you no more Is it the thunder in your words or the slam of the door You got a heart deep down but it’s buried so tight Oh Shirley Maybe calm down tonight [Bridge] Her mama said girl you gotta take a breath Or love’ll curl up and face an early death Life ain’t about proving you're right It’s about holding hands even when you fight [Verse 3] Now Shirley stares out at a pale moon rise A tear rolls free from her stubborn eyes If the phone don’t ring she can’t blame the wall It’s hard to pick up when it’s her that won’t call
