Plastic Oyster

20 now
Will an oyster open up for me
45 and they'll call my number
Live for free
Bide my time while I just live a little
I'll be fine
65 is a ripe little age to change my mind

Blood like molasses flows
Makes my veins elastic
Earn all my weight in pearls
But they're painted plastic

Isn't East of Eden
Where we're living is the West
Got a hole in every pocket
That I dig in to invest
Got a chip on every shoulder
That I rub but don't impress
Gotta send my kid to school in a bulletproof vest
Ownership mentality strapped below deck
Billies fuck around space
And thank me for the check
But one day I might meet milly
So billy can sit and chill
Grab a bootstrap
Toe-tap slow over the hill

Sing
Plastic: good, paper: thin
Plastic pride, American
Plastic skin, tough as nails
Plastic weight don't tip the scales
Plastic slips: never pink
Plastic island never sinks
Plastic pit, bottomless
Plastic hit, oh I'm fond of it

Plastic god take my pain
Plastic wrap my goddamn brain
Plastic gold
Midas touch
Fuck I'm old
Need pearls to clutch
Or just painted plastic
