We Couldn't Stop It If We Wanted To

See I need my freeze-dried jalapeño cheese-fries
Delivered to my door in hour could you please drive
A little bit faster I see you in the app
Moving so slow like a heart attack

That creeps up grabs you by the waist
Throws you on the dance floor with a little taste
Of impending disaster, nuclear reactor
A coronary vision of the thing that I'm after

Two-day delivery window blown
Mind goes mad like bomb cyclone
Hey Bezos give me what I want right now
I know I don't need it but I want it right now

A Rubiks cube, Nike Killshot shoes
And a history book on New Orleans blues
Toothpaste and Amazon brand tissues
I want it right now that is not my issue

See I paid for Prime and if it's not on time
I'll just call Target and pick it up on your dime
Do a fake return and have Christmas gifts
Only seventy-bucks, you won't miss it

But I can do a lot more with that money
Venti lattes for a month with that money
Three Botox needles so my face feels funny
I'm morally bankrupt with all of this money

In the metaverse, yeah, it's finders keepers
We all turn atheists into believers
Living on the couch all underachievers
We don't do much no one will ever need us

But man if those fries are late
If the Killshots happen to take another day
I'll just lose my mind and say

We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to

There's a new economy right in front of me
Based on the fact I had a full lobotomy
I took the red white and blue pills
Can't ever get off of these meds still

I remember a time when my mind was clear
When I could breathe fresh air when my hope was near
Like reading the Lorax as a kid
If there isn't a person keeping a lid

On capitalism no one goes to prison
They just pay off the judge and they're all forgiven
Just like everyone's former hero Lance
Briefcase case full of cash won the Tour de France

Climbing hill after hill reaching for the top
For inside info on a hot new stock
You could change your life with an IPO
You could change your life with this EPO

In your veins so fast, no time to ask
Will this kill me when I'm fifty, can my heart outlast
My greed and desire, unholy fire
Burning inside of my big retirement

Fund put together by my friend big pharma
No use in waiting to see if the karma
Comes around, I'm pretty sure we know that it doesn't
Unless it's the name of its evil cousin its

Layoffs and payoffs and I get a day off
To take my dog to vet and maybe just stay off
My VPN and talk to my friends
And say 'hey what's new how you doing?'

It's been a while since we were all in this deep
Every day feels like more make believe
My mom's Facebook group says we're all sheep
I wish I could get a good night's sleep

We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
We couldn't stop it if we wanted to
