The first step to success
Is find the fountain of youth
And drown in it fast
Before they get the proof
And Pitchfork degrades your 10
In hindsight, 4.2

They say money can't buy you love
But love can't buy you anything
Check the lump of coal
It was the diamond in your wedding ring
Life is a 2D scroller
Next level you're 10 years older
With no health and boss attacks
The game won't go back

When I was 17
I dreamt that Sub Pop would rescue me
Together we would sing
Away my desert mediocrity

Elliott Smith's ghost
Can't afford the rent on the West Coast
Elliott Smith's ghost
Can't afford the rent on the West Coast

And nostalgia gets fat
Just like it always will
It's moving in for the kill

It ain't gemstones that sparkle
On Cigarette Butt Beach
No, it's syringes and glass
And love out of reach
And Pitchfork declares that your favorite
Artist is obsolete

It gets dark before it gets pitch black
But black ain't sold since Metallica
And Hetfield is still on the fourth step
That's the only reason he's calling ya
Life is a 2D scroller
Next level you're 30 years older
With one quarter left in your stack
The game won't go back

When I was 25
The last angry punk rock dude died
We held our speakers high
And wondered who got the T-shirt rights

Elliott Smith's ghost
Can't afford the rent on the West Coast
Elliott Smith's ghost
Can't afford the rent on the West Coast

And nostalgia gets fat
Just like it always will
Because you're buying it still
