I bet I thought I was pretty clever when I made it change key at the "just change key" line. lyrics We can’t afford your depression anymore We can’t afford this depression anymore
Every minute that we spend There is something to break down for So just change key Keep your mind on me You’ve got a lot to live for You’ve got a lot to go for
We can share a room, share a bed, save rent as cellmates You’d think it was a crime to be alive (that’s your depression talking) We’re living in squalor That’s the name of this house This house is called squalor by all There’s a door broken somewhere but I never can remember quite where
We can’t afford our depression anymore We can’t afford this depression anymore
How can we ever make a living? Our job is trying not to die So just change key Keep your mind on me You’ve got a lot to live for You’ve got a lot to go for
We’d be starving artists if we were artists But we won’t let ourselves become the art (no we’ll never sink that low) Remember when we made jokes? Now we’re too poor for laughter No, fuck it, we’re too poor to be serious So make me laugh again
We can’t afford my depression anymore We can’t afford this depression anymore
Every minute someone else Is having a better time than us babe So just change key Keep your mind on me You’ve got a lot to live for You’ve got a lot to go for
I’ve seen some things that I won’t forget Ashtray carpets and starving pets If it’s out of our hands then we’d better regret We spent the rest on cigarettes
