Shuck & Jive
No longer underrated, just underfunded
In two years, went zero to 100
Can't believe everywhere we've been
But there's something
That just don't sit right
They say there's no money in indie
Half a million streams
How many execs did I help buy a Bentley?
So take everything I ever owned
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
Because there's nothing I'd love less
Than to work myself to death
So take everything I ever owned
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
There's nothing I'd love less
Than to work myself to death
Go ahead, just sign the dotted line
Be grateful we gave you the time
You know we'll hang you out to dry
Is it still a noose if it's made from sparkling twine?
And they say that that's just the way it goes
Do you wanna stock shelves or play sold out shows?
How could you think of saying no?
But we've spent too much time
Proving there's more than all white male bills
Only inclusive out of guilt
You know the drill
So take everything I ever owned
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
Because there's nothing I love less
Than to work myself to death
So take everything I ever owned
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
Because there's nothing I love less
Than to work myself to death
Go ahead, just sign the dotted line
Be grateful we gave you the time
Cuz you know we'll hang you out to dry
Is it still a noose if it's made from sparkling twine?
Take everything I ever owned
Hand me the rope
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
How could I say no?
Because there's nothing I'd love less
Hand me the rope
Than to work myself to death
How could I say no?
Take everything I ever owned
Hand me the rope
I'll grind my fingers down to the bone
How could I say no?
Because there's nothing I'd love less
I'll take the dive
Than to work myself to death
But first, tell me what car will you buy?
Go ahead, just sign the dotted line
How could I say no?
Be grateful we gave you the time
How could I say no?
Cuz you know we'll hang you out to dry
How could I say no?
Is it still a noose if it's made from sparkling twine?
How could I say no?
Go ahead, just sign the dotted line
In two years, went zero to 100
Can't believe everywhere we've been
But there's something
