Title: Dissin' all my Listeners Lyrics: Look at you, bet you’re thinking that you’re all that “lately I’ve been really into indie rock and podcasts” Chronically online, paying top dollar for broadband people show you memes, you’re thinkin “I already saw that” Cool headphones! You’re right to keep it quiet cuz if I had your music taste I’d also try to hide it The crew is in the car, nows your chance to make it awkward the nights already over when its your turn for the Aux Chord I tried to warn you but I’m done with taking prisoners You’re in my target demo and I’m dissin’ all my listeners Hey cool tune, how’d you find it, kid? Did you pop into a record shop and dig for it? oh you let an algorithm make a playlist? cool you and every other zoomer in your local middle school and hey maybe they’re a talent and they kill it live oh, their show has the production of an open mic? we paid 25 bucks and you had to drag me, too to sit criss-cross and listen in a living room? Its not hard but I’ll try to make it simpler you’re in my target demo and I’m dissin all my listeners I hear you thinking that I’m comin off a bit harsh a little bit ungrateful to the one that got me this far should I apologize to all my audience or double down? this wouldn’t be a diss if I didn’t try to pop your bubble now You’re terrible! (at making me feel like I’m alone) You’re Awful! (cuz you drained your data playin’ me on your phone) You the worst at being critical when feedback’s all I want You’re mean (I mean you mean the world to me so thanks a lot) You needed me to knock you off your silly little perch you spend too damn much on my silly indie merch You’re enabling a dream, its irresponsible a grown ass man thinks that anything is possible?? call a cease fire, its all for show cuz I play until I win like this is rochambeau and I’m a rocker and your peace sign looks exactly like scissors you’re gonna get crushed cuz I’m dissin all my listeners ------- MATT'S SONG Bug's Challenge: You see that guy in the corner? He seems like a... Lion Title: We're all Enemies Here Lyrics: hey welcome settle in i won't ask how you found the place we were are all blown here by different winds don't give me your name don't give me your story i've seen your face already that's all that's important pull up a chair i'll pour you a drink and i'll keep my eyes on the door that's what i do here i watch your back so you don't have to for a while don't give me your card don't give me your money i've seen your face already that's all that's important see that guy in the corner looks like a lion he fights for a living and he fights like he's dying you wanna have bad time tonight trying sneaking up behind him he took a dislike to a friend of mine, now i don't even recognise him you see that girl over there no, you didn't and if anyone ever comes asking bout a friend or daughter missing you just shake your head and send them over my way i'll make sure that nobody ever comes here asking round again don't give me that look like you're your own man i've seen your face already that's all that's important don't get any ideas we're all enemies here
