Rivers Cuomo
The Good Life (Demonetized Again)
[Verse 1]
When I look in the mirror
I can't believe what I see
Tell me, who's that FUNKey dude
Staring back at me?
Watching viewer counts
Quickly taper off
Fighting just to be
Shown in your sub box
My time is running short
It's like a ticking clock
[Verse 2]
Excuse the bitchin'
I shouldn't complain
I should give up streamin'
And go back to my main
As everything I create
Is fated not to be
And every cent I make
Is stolen away from me
And who do I got to blame?
That stupid YouTube team
[Chorus 1]
And I don't wanna get demonetized again
So I'm gonna sing my outros now instead
It's a bitch that I can't use songs at the end
But I would much rather pay my rent
So please do not come, please do not go
Demonetize me and my YouTube shows
I need money I can blow, whoa!
[Verse 3]
Well screw this crap, I've had it! (I— I— I've had it, had it!)
I've hit my streamer stride (I get that reference, it's funny)
If YouTube's in the gutter (Woo...)
Then we'll just do it live
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
Ain't gonna cause a scene
I just need to admit
That I want butter with my cheese (Hear me?)
Hear me? I want butter with my cheese
[Chorus 2]
And I don't wanna get demonetized again
So I'm gonna sing my outros now instead
It's a bitch that I can't use songs at the end
But I would much rather pay my rent
So please do not strike, please do not strike
I promise you that I am playing this live
I need money to survive, yeah!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I wanna go back, go back
To a time I was still on the track
It's time I got back, got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back, yeah
[Chorus 3]
And I don't wanna be an old man anymore
It's been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Shakin' booty, making sweet love all the night
It's time I got back to the good life
It's time I got back (It's time I got back)
And I don't even know how I got off the track
It's time I got back, it's time I got back
And I don't even know how I got off the track
I wanna go back! (I wanna go back!)
