Shiny Object Syndrome
You caught a glimpse of somethin' that's catchin' your eye
You want to buy this thing, no good reason why
S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
You've got shiny object syndrome
You spent a bunch of cash on crap you don't need
You bought a hundred books that you're never gonna read
S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
You've got shiny object syndrome
You're trying to get your life more organized
But this cast iron skillet's got you hypnotized
Bought a Peloton to improve your physique
And now you're movin' on to be a vegan for a week
Bought a drum set and you practiced it daily
'Til you decided you wanted a ukulele
Bought a journal to record what your mood is now
Then threw it all away because you said you'rе Buddhist now
S.O.S. (S.O.S.)
You've got shiny object syndrome
Evеrybody get up and wave your hands
All the kids with the low attention spans
Say it loud so everybody understands
Why you spent a hundred bucks on gluten-free pants
Hop inside the metaverse, take VR for a spin
Buy some virtual land so you can flip it and win
Be a crypto conquistador, clever and conniving
Making coin like you're royalty, medievally thriving
NFT-eez nuts, buy a monkey or cat
So we can cashew outside, how 'bout that?
The stuff that you have you can't enjoy
'Cause you're always on the hunt for that next new toy
You think this'll spark some life inside
Feel a rush, buckle up, get a dopamine high
You're cruisin' now in a car that can drive for you
Whatever it takes to not have to think things through
(Five, six, seven)
Monotony (Monotony)
Shake up the monotony (Shake up the monotony)
Break up the monotony (Break up the monotony)
Of your life
Buy a dream (Buy a dream)
You deserve something (You deserve something)
To break the monotony
Of living your life
You've got, you've got
Shiny object syndrome
Ooh
