First World Kids With First World Problems - Spry

Pointin' and clickin' away
Plug it in and play
Instruction manual
Explains all the rules
A fantasy escape
A million miles away
No matter what you say
I'll always have my way

I need the top scores
I gotta make the leaderboards
Knowing that I'm the best
Out of all of my friends
But because of all the hours
That I pour into this
I barely even shower
And my room is a mess
So yeah

You're so tired of life
You can't even try
Nevermind and besides
It's not like this is

Your first fall
Down the well
Kill that witch
Cast her spell
Treasure chest ahead
Full of tons of loot
A couple of gold doubloons
A rare item or two

It's exactly what you'd expect to find down there
It's trope after trope and you don't even care
It's boring as hell to watch so I don't know how you can stare
At these trivial electrons being flung into the air
But what do I know

A life defined
By what you can or cannot do
You are confined
By strict guidelines
That have no meaning
Outside of that second life you lead
From office seating
The hums and whirs of computers

Dominate your headspace
Overtake your eyesight
Continually assaulting
Every angle of the light
That emanates freely
From the wilds outside
A vast unknown wasteland
Of societal delights

Battlestation activate
Headset on to concentrate
Mind set on a path to take
But it's too late
