Homeless Millennial

[Verse 1]

The rent is too damn high

My wallet's bleeding and I don't know why

Saved up, ready for a change

I guess we'll do it the American way

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Tempt my fate in real estate

[Chorus 1]

A five bedroom craftsman newly listed on Zillow

It's built on a cul-de-sac in the best school zone

It costs a million-five, and the HOA is high

I guess I'll always be a homeless millennial

[Verse 2]

Lower my expectations

I'll leave this town and hit the road

This isn't quite what mom and dad had in mind

If this is what it takes I'll DIY in the countryside

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Chip & Jo

Tempt my fate and renovate

[Chorus 2]

An 800 square foot 1930's bungalow

It's got popcorn ceiling and a basement full of mold

Too bad we got outbid by a pampered trust fund kid

I guess I'll always be a homeless millennial

[Bridge]

This isn't funny, I've got the money

But I can't afford to live in my own country

I'll move to Russia, live in an izba

[Russian lyrics] Я буду собирать картошку (I will be picking potatoes)

Capitalism, this is a prison

We're better off living under communism

[Russian music]

[Outro Chorus 3]

A ten square foot shack under a bridge in Baltimore

At least it's walking distance to the nearest liquor store

My landlord is a bum and he fought in Vietnam

I guess I'm literally a homeless millennial

Oh well, I guess I'm back on rent

The dream's out of reach and my life savings are spent

No opportunity in a rigged economy

I guess I'll always be a homeless millennial
