about

We're all hoarders.

lyrics

Oh yeah

It started off as things often do
People that look just like you
These two were so in love
With collecting stuff
But it all goes away
Never enough
They made some poor investments in
The Beanie Baby fad
And they lost all their life savings
And got polyester rash
She went ballistic
Threw all his beanies on the lawn
Packed her bags turned on the sprinklers
Out the door and she was gone

Now he works online
Spending all his time
Selling off
Merchandise
And she’s in retail
Gets garbage wholesale
It ends up in
The landfill

Fifteen years have passed
She doesn’t need him back
Fills her time and space
Tearing plastic wrap
She made some poor investments with
The fidget spinner fad
And she gouged both of her eyes out
From spinning them too fast

Now he works online
Spending all his time
Selling off
Merchandise
And she’s in retail
Gets garbage wholesale
It ends up in
The landfill

Why’s it so hard to say we’re sorry
Now I’m talking at the wall again
Why’s it so hard to say we’re sorry
Sent a letter cause you’re not listening

Now he works online
Spending all his time
Selling off
Merchandise
And she’s in retail
Gets garbage wholesale
It ends up in
The landfill
