Proper (USA)
Shuck and Jive
No longer underrated, just underfunded
In 2 years, went 0 to 100
Can’t believe everywhere we’ve been
But there’s something
That just don’t sit right
They say there’s no money in indie
Half a million streams
How many spotify execs did I help buy a bentley?
So take everything I ever owned
I’ll grind my fingers to the bone
There’s nothing I’d love lеss
Than to work myself to death
Go ahead, just sign thе dotted line
Be grateful we gave you the time
You know we’ll hang you out to dry
Is it a noose if it’s made from sparkling twine?
And they say that that’s just the way it goes
Do you wanna stock shelves or play sold out shows?
How could you think of saying no?
But we’ve spent too much time proving there’s more than all white male bills
Only inclusive out of guilt
You know the drill
So take everything I ever owned
I’ll work myself down to the bone
Because there’s nothing I want less
Than to work myself to death
Go ahead, just sign the dotted line
Be grateful we gave you the time
Cuz you know we’ll hang you out to dry
Is it a noose if it’s made from sparkling twine?
Just hand me the rope
How could I say no?
I’ll take the dive
But first, tell me what car will you buy?
