Lyrics:
My clothes are always wrinkled
‘Cause I leave them in the hamper too long after they’re clean
I’m often not that bothered
Sometimes I don’t even notice til I’m home in the evening
I’m moving through life with extra texture
Driven by my apathy
I’m tryna make this a fashion statement
So I can do one less thing

I’m lazy
I wanna minimize my effort
And tell myself that it’s better this way
I’m lazy
And I market it as efficiency
But I’m just tryna run off and play
I’m lazy
And maybe
It’s the weed
But maybe
It’s just me
Who’s lazy
I’m lazy
I am

I’m good at working smarter
But I’m even fucking better at not working at all
I gave myself permission
Now I’ll probably just be chillin’ til my life starts to fall apart
Cause maybe it won’t!
And oh what a waste
Preparing for things
That never take place
I’ll probably be fine
And in the meantime
I’ll play a video game
You see

I’m lazy
I wanna minimize my effort
And tell myself that it’s better this way
I’m lazy
And I market it as efficiency
But I’m just tryna run off and play
I’m lazy
And maybe
It’s the weed
But maybe
It’s just me
Who’s lazy
I’m lazy
I am

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I’m lazy
I wanna minimize my effort
And tell myself that it’s better this way
I’m lazy
And I market it as efficiency
But I’m just tryna run off and play
I’m lazy
And maybe
It’s the weed
But maybe
It’s just me
Who’s lazy
I’m lazy
I am

(yeah)
(skrrt skrrt)
Shoo be doo wop
Shoo be doo wop
Shoo be doo wop (ah ha ha)
Shoo be doo wow (what?)

Shoo be doo wop (hey)
Shoo be doo wop (we’re doing a thing)
Shoo be doo wop (let go)
Shoo be doo wow

I’m over being busy (busy)
I used to run round and round and round
Until I got real dizzy (real dizzy)
And then I’d fall over, hit my head on the ground
Just a few too many times, living life
For the grind and I liked it (uh huh)
I did (oh yeah!)
But something happened, now my mind is different (shoo be doo wow)

Well I don’t think I ever recovered from the pandemic
Olympian work ethic is gone (gone gone)
I can try my hardest for maybe like 30 minutes
But then I’ll be ready to move on (on on)
It’s not that I’m unable, it’s just that I don’t desire
To prove to anybody that my soul’s on fire
For what? (for what)
I like (I like)
Life better when I take my time

So much of what I valued is
No longer what I value
Shifting hormones, changing tides
This ride is mine and I’ve decided

I’m over being busy
Mmm, over being busy
Ooh, I’m over being busy, busy, busy, busy
Busy, busy, busy, busy, yeah
I’m over, I’m over
I’m over
