I Don't Get It
She says that she’s lonely
But the only one she’ll talk to
Is her therapist
Scrolling ads and images all night
She understands
How people get depressed
She loves to sing and play
But she doesn’t want to do it
For an audience
Says it’s a scary world out there
There’s heat and weather
And some creepy elements
And I don’t get it
No, I don’t get it
And I can’t find any answers on the Reddit
Wish I could do more
Do more than listen
To help with what we're missin’
She’s beautiful but always wants
To change the way she looks
She wishes things could be the way
They write ‘em in the books
When I say, "So go and write that book!"
She rolls her eyes and gives me dirty looks
He wrote himself a movie
Then he headed west to see
If he could make it there
He crashed with friends, made connections,
Waited tables, tried real hard to thwart despair
He moved back and ditched the movie
Then found God and got real groovy
All for free
He’s raising money for the cause
And to build and open
A dispensary
And I don’t get it
No, I don’t get it
You won’t find all the answers on the Reddit
Wish I could let it go
But it’s too late now and I
Really just don’t get it
And as the movie burned inside his laptop
On a pile of plants
The heady scent of cannabis
And plot twists made him dance
When I asked, “What was the title?”
He just smiled and said “My, How the Dream Enchants.”
As they walk the halls
They text their friends
Nobody looks each other in the eyes
In class they sit in silence, stare at screens
And bide their time as their attention dies
All that brain rot out there online
Just saps your mojo ‘n drains your mind
Why play that game?
Five hundred friends and followers
But I’m not sure my neighbor even knows my name
And I don’t get it
No, I don’t get it
All the homework is just out there on the Reddit
Maybe I shouldn’t have said it
I might regret it
But I really just don’t get it
They say they’re justified in cheating
‘Cause the world is so unfair
And then they add that anyway
The teacher doesn’t care
And I wish that we could fix these things
But maybe they’re too far beyond repair
And I don’t get it
No, I don’t get it
No, you won’t find all the answers on the Reddit
Wish I could let it go
But it’s too late now and I
Really just don’t get it
I really just don’t get it
No, I really just don’t get it
