lyrics

Why do they call it executive if I don't live on the top floor
Why do they call it executive if it doesn't pay cash
Why do they call it executive if I haven't showered in days
Why would they call it executive if I never make rent

Dysfunction for you, dysfunctional
Keep talking, yeah keep walking
Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional
Writing cheques that my ass can't cash

Dysfunctional for you, dysfunctional
Keep talking, yeah keep walking
Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional

Why do they call it executive if I haven't got a clock
There's no calendar on my wall
I don't have meetings every day
I've got nothing going on

Here for it he's not here for it
I don't even think I know where I am
Go for it there's no good moment
I don't even think they know my name

Now you're trying to get into me
But you're stuck in 2015
Yeah, you say you'll be good for the scene
Drunk talk is cheap, get up and show me

Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional me
Keep talking, yeah keep walking
Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional me
Writing cheques that my ass can't cash

Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional me
Keep talking, yeah keep walking
Dysfunctional you, dysfunctional

I'll try not to let you down, but I've failed

Guess I'll admit it
I'll never be what you wanted
Cadillac dreams
Smelling like nicotine
Shaking my head
'Cause I'm searching for anything
Tear out my throat
'Cause I'm choking on everything
