Plastic Oyster

20 now

Will an oyster open up for me

45 and they'll call my number

Live for free

Bide my time while I just live a little

I'll be fine

65 is a ripe little age to change my mind

Blood like molasses flows

Makes my veins elastic

Earn all my weight in pearls

But they're painted plastic

Isn't East of Eden

Where we're living is the West

Got a hole in every pocket

That I dig in to invest

Got a chip on every shoulder

That I rub but don't impress

Gotta send my kid to school in a bulletproof vest

Ownership mentality strapped below deck

Billies fuck around space

And thank me for the check

But one day I might meet milly

So billy can sit and chill

Grab a bootstrap

Toe-tap slow over the hill

Sing

Plastic: good, paper: thin

Plastic pride, American

Plastic skin, tough as nails

Plastic weight don't tip the scales

Plastic slips: never pink

Plastic island never sinks

Plastic pit, bottomless

Plastic hit, oh I'm fond of it

Plastic god take my pain

Plastic wrap my goddamn brain

Plastic gold

Midas touch

Fuck I'm old

Need pearls to clutch

Or just painted plastic
