Better Call

Boom

I turn heads in the conference room

They can tell that I'm a weirdo in a costume

Like a cybernetic prostitute

You wanna fuck the system, it'll cost you

Thick round peg in a square hole

Keep yourself in check or lose respect if you ain't careful

There goes another one, on the straight and narrow

Guess I really wouldn't care though if the issue was dinero

Walk the fine line between presentable and slippin'

You could bend the rules and flip'em or accept the rules and live 'em

Conventional dispositions fit to placate the parents

Nonsensical split decisions simply make them embarrassed

But I just can't turn it down, class nerd to the office clown

Button up my shirt while getting dirty with the awesome crowd

Bottomed out? That's a rock star you're talking 'bout

Went to normie college but I'm dropping out

No way

I just want my own crazy epitaph

It's okay

I'm a phony so I'm breaking it in half

I won't change

Exterior falls away

Gonna take it all the way

I made a Better Call today

Never fit into your car cup holder

Ever since I was nine, and now that I'm much older

I've only grown to be bolder, got doritos on my shoulder

Every moment in the office, my soul gets a little colder

All these projects over which I'm taking ownership

Pff, whatever happened to showmanship

Let me talk out of my ass until their eyes fall out

If you catch me running my mouth at a gathering I'm controlling it

Freak of nature in a blazer and suit pants

Wasn't made to be authoring papers or taking bootcamps

I set a gas lamp to the manual

Though valuable, it can't bring enlightenment like the truth can

An academic by proxy

Could've let it go, but I know what stopped me

It's hard to commit to living your whole life offbeat

Thought I better call it quits but I'm too damn cocky

No way

I just want my own crazy epitaph

It's okay

I'm a phony so I'm breaking it in half

I won't change

Exterior falls away

Gonna take it all the way

I made a Better Call today

When I'm all over your billboards

On your great American highways

Even if I'm still bored

Well, at least I did it my way

One day I'll play the Fillmore

And maybe even Taipei

Fulfill the purpose I was built for

And say my final "Happy Friday"

Can't help that I'm a spectacle

Rock stars were never socially acceptable, ay

Taught myself to be professional

But I admit I'm never fully one dimensional, ay

Caught up in the orbit of Neptune

Brought me best friends and discord into my bedroom

Following my calling excites me

But will it all come back to bite me

No way

I just want my own crazy epitaph

It's okay

I'm a phony so I'm breaking it in half

I won't change

Exterior falls away

Gonna take it all the way

I made a Better Call today
