First heard on Episode 60: Tame Impala, Lame Impala, Reggaenomics for a Real Republican & the Great Ball-Loofah Debate — the Tame Impala / Currents episode.
About this song
Parody artist Lame Impala contrasts faded rock-star cool with parenting: "Sony bought my past and future works, so I'll write about anything," including letting "the oldest" (who "can read now") write songs "on days I need chill." The bridge flips perspective to the kid trashing hotel rooms and the kitchen — "this kid's on a mission."

Lyrics
I just want to make music but the kids need stuff I'm just sitting at home and wiping butts Sony bought my past and future works So I'll write about anything to be a jerk The oldest can read now that's pretty cool I let her write my songs too on days I need chill Trevor left with that girl and they were in lust Now they're tired A.F and wiping butts Getting old is funny when you're holding on to cool I know I'm a rockstar but the kids don't care I still need to be there and get them snacks I make a song about snacks, and this and that It's great, but mate is it different I need a snack Give me that snack Or I'll have a tantrum attack I need some food Put down your guitar Stop recording that idea Now I'm the rockstar I trash your hotels I trash the kitchen Toys in your bed This kid's on a mission I just want to make music but the kids need stuff I'm just sitting at home and wiping butts
