Don’t kill yourself it’s bad for the Economy

. . .

Don’t worry don’t worry 

Find ways to make money

Good grades plus hard work 

. . .

Minus years of your childhood

Equals years of college 

Which is adjacent to becoming a surf 

To the lords of capitalism

. . .

Don’t worry don’t worry

Save up to retire 

Because the only life worth living

. . .

Is the one that’s already passed you by

But with every two weeks of vacation

You can make up the time

. . .

Don’t worry don’t worry

About all this

screaming to escape

But the plan worked for your parents

. . .

So maybe we’ll be ok so long as we

Ignore the hole digging its way through 

Polluted hearts drip drip dripping 

Down the drain even the sky’s tears

Can no longer contain

. . .

Don’t worry don’t worry 

You can’t hurt no more 

If you don’t have anybody

. . .

We can make it 

Take the knife you once used to cut

Yourself a dinner each day your mother

Couldn’t stand to cook for her children

. . .

And carve out your own window

To jump to safety

. . .

Even if safety 

Feels a lot like six feet under

. . .

Don’t worry

Because as of today

We can ethically source your 

tombstone
