Life’s Too Expensive for Me

by Unfortunately Steven

supported by

Yvonne Glasgow The piano work and vocals on this track make me anxious to hear more of the album. Such a fun, serious, sad, and artistic song. I love the catchy vibe. This is something I imagine hearing at a fancy dining establishment with a solo artist crooning from the piano.

about

Unfortunately Steven’s debut single off his mental breakdown fantasy album “Groovy Avocado Disco” out May 6

lyrics

I’d like to live in San Francisco
Where the homes look nice and cozy
You say hello to the neighbor you know
And they all love Buster Posey

But the cost of livings too high
It's higher than that one hippie guy
That we saw at the dispensary
Mm, Life's too Expensive for me

I think I’ll move to Chicago
So I can see the World Champ Cubs
Take the train to Wrigley Field
Maybe catch a foul ball

But everything is sold out
There's only room to stand and shout
Outside where I can't see
Mm, Life's too Expensive for me

I can’t afford a vacation
I’m making money but my bank account is sore
United States of Inflation
I’m so broke but they want more

I’ll just stay in LA
Until they take all my pay
In taxes for the land of the free
Mm, Life’s too Expensive

Life’s too Expensive
Life’s too Expensive for me

Mmhm, I’m broke
It’s no joke
