Lyrics

Mediocre Man

I'm not that bad
But I'm not so great
Still I get the credit while she never catches a break

I never hurt anyone
But I'm not quick to help
Easier to be ignorant
Look out for myself

I just wanna be a mediocre man

I want an average job
I want an average life
I want an average house
With an exceptional wife

Slack off, you can call it my aesthetic
Jack off when I'm feeling pathetic

UNHhhh

I just wanna be a mediocre man

I wanna be elevated
Reinstated
Never back down when I'm being debated
I just wanna be mediocre, man
