The Birdwatchers - Problematica Lyrics

You've been given a golden ticket
You've already won the opportunity lottery, yet you're too f*cking stubborn to cash it in
You've made your bed, now lie down
How many times is this

You don't deserve this life
You don't deserve this success, this safety net, this relative normalcy
What have you done
What effort have you put in to justify this comfortable existence you've led, where conflict seems to work itself out and the concept of long term consequences is negligible at best
Nothing
You have done nothing to make the best of your privilege
Instead you continuously perform the bare minimum required to skate by

You have no clearly defined work ethic, and you bounce from one flash hobby to the next as soon as you start to lose interest, avoiding anything that might be challenging or otherwise unpleasant, continuing your desperate search for something to hold your attention
All the while, oblivious to your surroundings
Don't try to seek comfort in justification
Everyone fights to keep their head above water, so that's no reason to always take the path of least resistance

You should have done more
All your financial woes are just the product of you taking the easy way out

You should have done more
All the feelings of inadequacy you constantly face can be traced back to this
Because why would anyone want to put in the time for someone who has not put the time in, himself

You should have done more
You think you don't measure up to your peers
Well, you don't
Hindsight is 20/20, and here it's 20 f*cking 10
The world may be uncertain and unfair, you may have been cursed with bad chemistry, but that's no excuse for complacency
It just means you have to work that much harder
Don't complain
All your problems stem from your refusal to play ball like the rest
It's all you

You should have done more
"I've given all that I have"
It's always necessary
Don't recognize what I am
Adapted to the symptoms
It figures, that's how it ends
With total shutdown policy
The funeral drum plays pretend
I'm marching to its rhythm
Guess that's the way that it goes
