lyrics

The boy loves dumb entertainment,
So much fun when dad can’t play yet,
Mature themes he can’t hold onto,
A computer shapes his worldview, (Uh-huh)

Open an Egg, easy (,) solace,
Open an Egg, it’s life white with polish,

If dad’s done with work, but still seething,
If dad’s worn in panic’s unreceding,
If you ever feel sorrow,
and If you ever feel joyful,

Open an Egg, easy (,) solace,
Open an Egg, it’s life straight and polished

And so these egg’s allure, abused his youthful state, his youthful state without distraction, he’d contemplate,
Once, bright colors and big sounds were a visceral high, now his gray’s only bright with exponential time eyed,
If his dad was stressed out, or there was nothing to do, then he’d sit on down, keepin’ them eggs in view,
Then his mind turns gray it gives him just enough, to keep him uninspired, autonomy rebuff,

He had wanted some cake, right when he began, but he couldn’t stop watching, until intolerably bland,
Asked his father for some, dad did little to refute, but it made him feel heinous and the flavor was mute.
