Lyrics

Sucker for Punishment

Someone save me the front seat at the funeral
Life and death has become so consumable
Hear the warnings but I'll think about it later
Take or leave it, yeah, cause nothing lasts forever

Things look bad but hopefully not terminal
Buy it up before it's unaffordable
Won't look now cause there's always someone watching
My metadata's gonna tell me what I want

Jesus Christ, I am scrolling all the time
I'm just used to it
I swear I'm fine

I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker for punishment
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker for punishment

Drag my feet because I hate responsibility
I'm generationally lacking anonymity
Feel the algorithm, move your body with me
We're all the same and I'm so fucking tasty

Jesus Christ, I am scrolling all the time
I'm just used to it
I swear I'm fine

I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker for punishment
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker for punishment

I'm a sucker
I'm feeling so good
I'm feeling so good
I'm a sucker for punishment
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker
I'm a sucker for punishment

I'm a sucker for punishment
I'm a sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker
Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker
Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker
Sucker, sucker, sucker, sucker
Sucker, sucker, sucker
