Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fridge door framed with tape and magnets
Big bold letters
Color code the day
Check boxes begging for a simple answer
But the pens keep walking away
Soccer cleats in the kitchen sink
Backpack graveyard by the door
I’m yelling
“Did you even look at the list?”
They say
“We did”… and nothing more
[Chorus]
It’s a chore list nightmare
Every line unchecked
I’m a broken record
Talking to myself
“Make your bed
Feed the dog
Clear your plate”
But the boxes stay bare
And I’m losing faith
Yeah
Chore list nightmare
Hanging on the wall
I write it all down
They don’t read it at all
[Verse 2]
Sticky notes stuck on the bathroom mirror
“Brush your teeth
Lights off at ten”
They draw mustaches on my instructions
Laugh and run right past them again
Floor’s a minefield of socks and LEGOs
Laundry mountain
Same old song
I’m praying for a single scribbled check mark
Just one kid proving me wrong
[Chorus]
It’s a chore list nightmare
Every line unchecked
I’m a broken record
Talking to myself
“Make your bed
Feed the dog
Clear your plate”
But the boxes stay bare
And I’m losing faith
Yeah
Chore list nightmare
Hanging on the wall
I write it all down
They don’t read it at all
[Bridge]
One day you’ll miss this mess (you will)
That’s what all the old folks say
But right now I’d take one quiet morning
And a list that goes my way (just once)
[Chorus]
It’s a chore list nightmare
Every line unchecked
I’m a broken record
Talking to myself
“Make your bed
Feed the dog
Clear your plate”
But the boxes stay bare
And I’m losing faith
Yeah
Chore list nightmare
Taped up crooked and small
Maybe someday they’ll sign their names
Till then
I’m checking them all (hey!)

Style
rock, Crunchy indie-alt groove with rootsy electric guitars, loose live drums, and warm organ pads. Verses stay half-spoken, close-mic male vocals with dry tone; choruses bloom into raspy, soulful belting and stacked “hey!” gang shouts. Bass walks and pushes the pocket; bridge strips to vocal, tambourine, and organ swell, then band crashes back in for a big, shout-along outro., soul, roots rock, alternative rock, indie rock

Prompt
Chore list nightmare and how the kids never check off the list, indie rock, make it sound like The Revivalists
