About this song
Built as a fast, dense rap with a mournful country chorus, the song follows an out-of-work man "staring at the screen 'til I'm fogging up my glasses," trapped "inside the algorithm," with rent due Monday and a partner giving him "a cold and heavy sigh." It flags up front that "this one's not funny," then leans into the bleak comedy of modern job-hunting and cratering self-esteem.

Lyrics
Hey! This one's not funny! Men, struggling to make money. [Verse 1] [Fast-paced, rhythmic rap, monotone delivery] Two hundred applications sent, ghosted by the masses Staring at the screen ‘til I’m fogging up my glasses One hit back, it was a bait-and-switch scheme Multilevel marketing, a nightmare dressed as a dream Got a burden on my vertebrae, a heavy-duty pack Need a chiropractor’s hammer just to hear the spine crack Misaligned, out of time, trying to find a rhythm In a cold-blooded system, trapped inside the algorithm And I’m feeling prehistoric, yeah, the narrative has shifted While the modern world is moving, I’m the only one un-gifted I’m a hollowed-out vessel, I’m a cow without the cream Just a useless piece of data in the middle of the machine [Chorus] I cannot find a place to rest my head I want to call my mother’s house instead My darlin’s looking at me with a cold and heavy sigh ‘Cause the well is running empty and the bank account is dry I want to find a quiet place to hide away and cry But it’s lonesome being such a "cucked-up guy" [Verse 2] [Beat drops back in, aggressive flow, dense internal rhymes] Brain on overdrive, redlining the tachometer Checking every listing, every digital barometer Could I flip a burger? Could I late-night Uber drive? Trying to find a way to keep the flickering light alive But the overhead is high and the gas tank’s low And the stress is manifesting in the places it shouldn't show Yeah, my gut is in a knot and my diet is a disaster Living life on fast food, moving slow but wanting faster Is this a trial by fire? Is this the ultimate test? I’ve been coasting on the easy street, putting it to rest Now the rent is due on Monday and I’m looking for a "how" But the crown is getting heavy and I’m breaking in the brow [Chorus] I cannot find a place to rest my head I want to call my mother’s house instead My darlin’s looking at me with a cold and heavy sigh ‘Cause the well is running empty and the bank account is dry I want to find a quiet place to hide away and cry But it’s lonesome being such a "cucked-up guy" [Outro] Two hundred and one... Just waiting on the one... Self esteem getting lower... Damn I need a hug Self esteem getting lower... Damn I need a hug
