Participation Trophies Lyrics by Madelline

2022

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I lost my keys three times this week, if I'm late again I'll get fired (Ah)
My car battery is dead, guess I'll go back to bed
I got bills I didn't pay again, now my immediate action is required (Ah)
Credit score 315 (Ah), I don't know what that even means
[Chorus]
Participation trophies
They messed me up, now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?
(I don't always suck that bad, do I?)
[Verse 2]
Now 3 a.m., I'm playing words with friends
I go to bed but I'm way too wired (Ah)
Start a new job tomorrow
Oh, wait! It's already tomorrow
Wash my sheets first time in six weeks
Found my airpods in thе dryer (Ah)
Something is wrong with me (ahh)
Guеss I'm just too Type B
[Chorus]
So overstimulated
Now my attention span is shot
And I don't know how to stop
Routine is overrated
I do what I want when I like
So what's the problem if I suck at life?
[Bridge]
My mom tried to be my friend, I never learned discipline
Got good at playing pretend, I swear that it's not my fault
I wish that I could rewind, wish I had another try
To finally raise myself right, I swear that it's not my fault
Got all this wasted potential, mommy said I was special
My crisis, existential, no, it's not my fault
Now I depend on these meds to calm the thoughts in my head
This is as sane as I get, oh no, it's not my fault
[Refrain]
Why do I su—
Why do I su—
Why do I su—
Why do I su—
Why do I su—
Why do I su—
[Chorus]
Participation trophies
They messed me up now I'm that guy
I'm barely staying alive (Staying alive)
Got all of these neuroses
But people say that I'm a vibe
So what's the problem if I suck at life?
