lyrics

You hate the bourgeoisie 'cause it reminds you where you're from
You hate the proletariat 'cause it makes you look dumb
Instead of fighting a class war, you're sitting on your ass
While mooching off your friends who, by the way, are working class
An armchair revolutionary full of righteous talk
But you rarely take an action, you just love to sit and squawk
You reprimand your roommates which they do all your dishes
And instead of contributing, you get lazier and vicious

Lazier and vicious! x8

You'll pinpoint every detail of each activist group's flaws
Which you use as your excuse for never fighting for a cause
You're even more judgmental of those who are employed
While you exploit their hospitality, get confused if they're annoyed
You say "if they really wanted to, they could give me the boot"
But your excess gamer lifestyle and the streets do not compute!
You're in denial of your privilege for you know that you'd be shunned
If your hypocrisy was revealed through your hefty trust fund!

Hefty trust fund! x8

So instead you play it off as though you come from rags and dimes
And ignore the same scenario you've caused a dozen times
When your host becomes so fed up with your shit that they take flight
But you still remain oblivious - you're just a parasite!

Just a parasite! x16

Upbeat, quirky, and just a tad bit nihilistic.
