about
This 80s-esque, upbeat synth-pop jam gives voice to the frustrations of people who feel stuck in their job and can't afford the aspirational, luxury lifestyle they are sold in media.
lyrics
Stuck in a hamster wheel
Run, run, no sleep, chasing that glammer-feel
And as I'm getting older I feel Sisyphus' boulder
Pressing down upon my shoulders, pressing down
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on credit card
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on a credit card
If you wanna dream big, you better hustle to your next gig
Cause you know the game is rigged,
but you play to live, so you give and give
Until you're back where you started again
And as I'm getting older I feel Sisyphus' boulder
Pressing down upon my shoulders, pressing down
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on a credit card
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on credit
Oh did you lose all your ambition
(Oh no, Oh no)
So did you make it on TV
(I need more time, I need more time)
Deep down you've always had suspicions
(Oh no, Oh no)
You're doomed to mediocrity
Stuck in a hamster wheel
Run, run, no sleep, chasing that glammer-feel
And as I'm getting older I feel Sisyphus' boulder
Pressing down upon my shoulders, pressing down
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on credit card
If you got it flaunt it, my dreams are haunted
By God I want it, so get it on credit
Oh did you lose all your ambition
(Oh no, Oh no)
So did you make it on TV
(I need more time, I need more time)
Deep down you've always had suspicions
(Oh no, Oh no)
You're doomed to mediocrity
