Too Young To Know
Paralyzed by the fear of being inferior
My charm can't save me when there's a language barrier
An optimistic application, they bought me for more than I'm worth
It's like somehow being so underpaid was easier than knowing I'm not
It's a late stage capitalistic internal conflict that I lack the wherewithal to know how to deal with
Put me back
Put me back on the starving side
For its the struggle I've romanticized
Money's a luxury that I can't afford
At least that's what they tell me
But am I conditioned to be optimistic about the payment for back breaking work
It's a game of mental ping pong when I'm assessing how much I'm worth
The left would say it's pennies, the right would say be grateful
But I feel like the little boy caught in the middle and too young to know
Hey kid here's a few bucks but your back won't work in 30 years
By the way, it'll take that long to figure out we're fucking you
We're so glad to have you on the team
My charm can't save me when there's a language barrier
An optimistic application, they bought me for more than I'm worth
It's like somehow being so underpaid was easier than knowing I'm not
It's a late stage capitalistic internal conflict that I lack the wherewithal to know how to deal with
Put me back
Put me back on the starving side
For its the struggle I've romanticized
Money's a luxury that I can't afford
At least that's what they tell me
But am I conditioned to be optimistic about the payment for back breaking work
It's a game of mental ping pong when I'm assessing how much I'm worth
The left would say it's pennies, the right would say be grateful
But I feel like the little boy caught in the middle and too young to know
Hey kid here's a few bucks but your back won't work in 30 years
By the way, it'll take that long to figure out we're fucking you
We're so glad to have you on the team
