Track taken from an unreleased 7" recorded in 2015.

lyrics

Got no reason to complain
Got no voices in my brain
Spine works fine, I can hear and see
Got an 80 year life expectancy
They say the best things in life are free
So I'll freeload until the end of me
Don't have a job and I don't have a clue
All I want is for something to do

You're an adult now and it's great until
You notice from here it's only downhill
Need a house, a car, a job for the bills
And the all up cost is your total free will
Brought up on a diet of being told to aim high
I hope you didn't have stars in your eyes
I feel sorry but you've got to admit
Not much happens in a town with a two man mosh pit

Got hooker spit on my smile
On the day I'm meant to walk down the aisle
Puked up all my phlegm and bile
Then I got nervous and I drank a mile
10 years from now and I've got 2 kids
2 mortgages and a marriage on the skids
Throw in the towel, I wanna quit
Should of been happy with my 2 man mosh pit

You're an adult now and it's great until
You notice from here it's only downhill
Need a house, a car, a job for the bills
And the all up cost is your total free will
Brought up on a diet of being told to aim high
I hope you didn't have stars in your eyes
I feel sorry but you've got to admit
Not much happens in a town with a two man mosh pit
