Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rent took the good side
Groceries took the rest
My card said “try again”
I said, “Yeah, that’s the test”
Gas station hostage
Receipt like a dare
I’m doing my best here
With that thousand-yard stare
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t get down
It’s the same for everybody
Don’t get down
We’re all a little somebody
Stretch that dime
Till it bends, till it breaks
Smile at the math
For our own poor sake
[Chorus]
Don’t get down
The cost is up
Don’t get down
We all ran out of luck
Poor money choices
Oh well, what a show
Look at us now
On the same small road
[Verse 2]
Electric bikes everywhere
Zip by on the curb
One broke down by the mailbox
Another one just turned
My shoes got a countdown
My fridge got a joke
I bought “one small thing”
And the whole week broke
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t get down
It’s the same for everybody
Don’t get down
We’re all a little somebody
Pay that bill
Then pretend you feel fine
Laugh at the screen
And call it a sign
[Chorus]
Don’t get down
The cost is up
Don’t get down
We all ran out of luck
Poor money choices
Oh well, what a show
Look at us now
On the same small road
[Bridge]
I know, I know
We’re all balancing tricks
Coupons in one hand
Panic in the mix
Still here, still spinning
Still making it through
If the world got expensive
I blame the view
[Final Chorus]
Don’t get down
The cost is up
Don’t get down
We all ran out of luck
Poor money choices
Oh well, what a show
Look at us now
On the same small road
Don’t get down
We all say “fine”
Don’t get down
Just one more time
Poor money choices
Oh well, we know
Look at us now
On the same small road
