lyrics

Have you ever made a to do list
That took longer than the things you had to do?
Well, I have. Me too.

Have you added that that to do list
Things you did yesterday
Just to feel accomplished?
It doesn't work that way

Have you ever taken Adderall
Then stared at a wall for hours
Instead of doing your laundry?
Nope. Not me.

Have you ever cleaned your apartment
Just to avoid that fucking to do list?
Why do we do this?

I have been making extravagant dinners for just myself
I've been re-arranging all the books I've never read on my shelf
People say I'm wasting time, people say I'm in my prime

So I'm getting on top of my shit
Getting on top of my shit
I guess that I was under it
Now I'm getting on top of my shit

I'll try to eat tofu once a month
I'll try meditating twice a week
I'll start shooting wheatgrass thrice a day
That's good for you? I think so. Okay.

I'll only play hooky once a month
I'll only take naps twice a week
I'll only take selfies thrice a day
& then I'll be on my way

I'll start reading the Washington Post
But just the headlines? Yeah, of course.
Why don't we have universal healthcare? I don't know.

I'll only sleep in 'til 10 o'clock
I'll only start drinking after 5:00
But it's 5:00 somewhere, & I really don't care.
Yep. I'm drunk right now. I'm already drunk.

We forgot to write lyrics for this part.
Let's start. Tomorrow!

Getting on top of my shit
Getting on top of my shit
I guess that I was under it
Now I'm getting on top of my shit

Getting on top of my shit
Getting on top of my shit
We spent all day long writing this song
So now we’re getting on top of our shit
Tomorrow!
