Shiny Object Syndrome

You got a glimpse of something
That's catching your eye
You want to buy this thing
No good reason why

SOS
(S-O-S)
You've got shiny object syndrome

You spent a bunch of cash
On crap you don't need
You bought a hundred books
That you're never gonna read

SOS
(S-O-S)
You've got shiny object syndrome

You're trying to get your life more organized
But this cast iron skillet's got you hypnotized
Bought a Peloton to improve your physique
And now you're moving on to be a vegan for a week

Bought a drum set and you practiced it daily
'Til you decided you wanted a ukulele
Bought a journal to record what your mood is now
Then threw it all away because you said you're Buddhist now

SOS
(S-O-S)
You've got shiny object syndrome

Everybody get up and wave your hands
All the kids with the low attention spans
Say it loud so everybody understands
Why you spent a hundred bucks on gluten-free pants?

Hop inside the Metaverse
Take VR for a spin
Buy some virtual land
So you can flip it and win

Be a crypto conquistador
Clever and conniving
Making coin like you're royalty
Medievally thriving

NFT's nuts
Buy a monkey or cat
So we can cash you outside
How about that?

The stuff that you have
You can't enjoy
'Cause you're always on the hunt
For that next new toy

You think this'll spark some life inside
Feel a rush, buckle up, get a dopamine high
You're cruising now in a car that can drive for you
Whatever it takes to not have to think things through

Five, six, seven

Monotony
(Monotony)
Shake up the monotony
(Shake up the monotony)
Break up the monotony
(Break up the monotony)
Of your life

Buy a dream
(Buy a dream)
You deserve something
(You deserve something)
To break the monotony
Of living your life

You've got, you've got
Shiny object syndrome
