​must be nice (metaphorically speaking) Lyrics by Can’t Swim

Thanks But No Thanks (Deluxe)

2023

[Verse 1]
Got evicted about a week ago
Start fresh, I could clear my head
Got a 40, split it on the train
Could be worse, yeah I can't complain, it's okay
Got a job working at the bar
Cleaning puke from the kids I went to school with
[Chorus]
Blacked out and blistered
(Oh yeah, it must be nice)
Washed up and calloused
(You had us fooled)
Take your advice and add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like you
[Verse 2]
Got a car that doesn't even start
List of books that I should have read
Old shoes that always fill with dirt
Only clothes I wear I got from work
Doing dishes till my hands go numb
And I'm feeling all this pressure just to gеt it done
Hoping better days will somеhow one day come (One day come)
But they never come
Another night being
[Chorus]
Blacked out and blistered
(Oh yeah, it must be nice)
Washed up and calloused
(You had us fooled)
Take your advice and add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like
[Breakdown]
It's not gonna turn around
I'm not gonna find my place
It's always held me down
It's time to accept my fate
There's nothing for me left to do
[Bridge]
And I'm losing sight, me, myself and I
Debts I never paid, problems that I can't evade
Losing sight me, myself and I
It's my only way, this tortured soul is on display
Something for all to see
Felt it come over me
I'm losing sight
[Chorus]
Blacked out, blistered
Washed up and calloused
Take your advice and add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like
Be like you
