Venus 03:01
Society says fall in love With some guy from Chemistry class He'll be smart, cute, funny, and nice And he'll love me for who I am And when I walk down the aisle In my beautiful white dress I'll see him smiling at me More genuine than anyone else But I can't seem to find him Hidden behind all these jerks So I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I know it seems totally odd But trust me I can explain Humans have their little flaws Like ruining our world You get to know them and then They'll say something really dumb Like "Man, that's so autistic" or "What the hell was she wearing?" But he never says any of that Unlike all these human jerks So I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant He's gentle and he saves me from all the flies And he keeps my secrets All he wants is water and my love Unlike all of those needy men I love his special shade of green 'Cause it complements my hair I love my beloved soul mate And I'll love him forever more My love My heart My carnivorous plant So I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant I'll marry my carnivorous plant

Melodramatic 04:08
Sandy sandals and sunscreen My water bottle leaked Hair in my eyes, lost my hair tie The future's looking bleak Walking home from the only uniformed school in the area Sweating through my last clean dress I can't get out my Myki in time The overwhelming stress Some people say I'm melodramatic Some people say I'm melodramatic It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems Nothing in the fridge that I wanted to eat Nothing in the cupboard 'Cause I wanted something sweet Forgot my Keep Cup The barista's unimpressed So he made me wait Now I'm gonna be late $3 for a chocolate bar How about not? Some people say I'm melodramatic Some people say I'm melodramatic It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems There are bigger problems in the world I know But I still get pissed off when I stub my toe There are bigger problems in the world I know But I still get pissed off when I stub my toe When I stub my toe When I stub my toe When I stub my toe Some people say I'm melodramatic Some people say I'm melodramatic It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems It's pretty hard in the world's most livable city Even though everything seems to be so pretty It's actually kinda shitty With these first-world problems, these first-world problems

You patronise me, then shame me Stress me out and then blame me for being lazy You're threatened by the fact that you think we're disrespectful But it's only 'cause you do it first NEWS FLASH I have problems as well, so please DON'T LAUGH Do you think I'm a joke? THINK FAST Don't get stuck in the past I'm not gonna get on my knees for you We make you wary in our gangs Make you angry as we're talking in our slang You're threatened by the fact that you think we're disreputable But not as much as you were NEWS FLASH I have problems as well, so please DON'T LAUGH Do you think I'm a joke? THINK FAST Don't get stuck in the past I'm not gonna get on my knees for you You say that everything's not real Say we're needy so we make it a big deal You're threatened by the fact that you think we're all hysterical But it's only 'cause we want it fair Leaving my room messy, 'cause cleaning's a pain Riding on the footpath, 'cause there's no bike lane Leaving my room messy, 'cause cleaning's a pain Riding on the footpath, 'cause there's no bike lane there's no bike lane there's no bike lane there's no bike lane NEWS FLASH I have problems as well, so please DON'T LAUGH Do you think I'm a joke? THINK FAST Don't get stuck in the past I'm not gonna get on my knees for you Youth these days!
