Zach Frost – Cheap Wine lyrics

Grow up in a society where it’s okay
To borrow and spend, consume and consume, we get richer every day
Our digital bank accounts distance us from reality
What we actually own, what we actually spend; but where will it end?

We live in a world where you work hard to buy things you don’t need
To impress the ones who don’t mean anything
So now we’re wearing clothes that don’t fit
We might as well be pushing around shopping carts full of it
(‘Cause we’re full of it)

And we’ll be drinking cheap wine in fancy glasses
While the fate of the world is left in the hands of masses
And we’ll be going brain-dead while the time passes
Because we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes

And I know that it feels like it’s hopeless
And I know there are things that I wish that I could change

First class, second class, third world
The wealth gap is growing
While the earth’s natural resources are vanishing right before our eyes
And all we can do is run to the atm and fill up our empty gas tanks

So we’ll be drinking cheap wine in fancy glasses
While the fate of the world is left in the hands of masses
And we’ll be going brain-dead while the time passes
Because we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes

So pay with your digital wallet, you keep in your designer pocket
And don’t even look at the amount, just charge it
And when your friends are gone, and you’re sitting all alone
In your 5, 000 square foot home

You’ll be drinking cheap wine in fancy glasses
While the fate of the world is left in the hands of masses
And we’ll be going brain-dead while the time passes
Because we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes
No we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes

And when our lungs fail, we’ll just buy new ones
We’ll take a transplant from farming humans
It won’t be long until we’re eating each other for food
Won’t that be rude?

So pay with your digital wallet, you keep in your designer pocket
And don’t even look at the amount, no don’t even look at the amount
And when your friends are gone, and you’re sitting all alone
In your 5, 000 square foot home

You’ll be drinking cheap wine in fancy glasses
While the fate of the world is left in the hands of masses
And we’ll be going brain-dead while the time passes
Because we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes
No we won’t know the consequence of skipping classes
