[Verse 1]
Wait, might need a break to overtake
This cycle of another song, a different day
It feels so fake, copy and paste
A formulaic version of the things I say
[Pre-Chorus]
We need a hit by Monday, Monday
If you wanna be a star, star
Gonna write a hit about Bacardi, parties, bars, cars
If you wanna make money, money
If you wanna be a star, star
Starting to think that
[Chorus]
S-s-society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out when the sales went up
Society sucks, I wanna refund
When you get what you want, but it's never enough
Society
[Post-Chorus]
Hang on, I thought I was winning, winning
I made a fool of myself
Society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out on the day I signed up for society
[Verse 2]
Ironically, I wanna be
A piece of everything I hate on TMZ
I need a space to rearrange
This messy room I'm living in inside my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
Another hit by Monday, Monday
If you wanna be a star, star
Gonna write a hit about Bacardi, parties, bars, cars
If you wanna make money, money
If you wanna be a star, star
Starting to think that
[Chorus]
S-s-society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out when the sales went up
Society sucks, I wanna refund
When you get what you want, but it's never enough
Society
[Post-Chorus]
Hang on, I thought I was winning, winning
I made a fool of myself
Society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out on the day I signed up for society
[Bridge]
My head or my heart, the cash or the art
I stop to restart, I put up a guard
The glaze in your stare, the pressure in the air
You made me feel dumb, I wasn't aware
My chords are too jazz
My lyrics are too sad
My thoughts are too dark
Well shit, that's too bad
The game knocked me out
I guess I'll check out
I guess I'll check out
I guess I'll check out
[Chorus]
S-s-society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out when the sales went up
Society sucks, I wanna refund
When you get what you want, but it's never enough
Society
[Post-Chorus]
Hang on, I thought I was winning, winning
I made a fool of myself
Society sucks, I think I messed up
I think I sold out on the day I signed up for society

“SOCIETY” tells the story of how our career can sometimes feel. We exist within an ever changing creative industry full of opinions and music machines making everything go round. At times, what you truly have to say as an artist can feel diminished or not as important when it comes to the challenge...
Rob Laska:
We were in LA, writing with a bunch of people. We had this one day where we walked into a studio, and we were going through a lot of pretty dark shit as a band, and we were like, ‘We want to write about this.’ And [the producer there] was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool—I don’t know if I feel lik...
