Iterations from Trademarks by Luke Brawner

VERSE 1:
The usual suspects and regular words
Same white room and look on my face
I can’t always say ‘em , but it could be worse
I could fill my mouth with empty praise
Saltwater coffee, my cup overflows
Stains my teeth and burns my throat
Frustrates my tongue, but pleases my nose
So what’s good for the sheep is good for the goats

CHORUS 1:
I’ve got these iterations
I repeat ‘em all the time
You’ve got your expectations
But don’t try to make ‘em mine
‘Cause I’ve got these iterations

VERSE 2:
Work hard till summer, then I take a break
Get out of the city and back on the farm
Try to enjoy this money I make
Try to ignore the folks who mean harm
I’ll eat good moussaka and drink a few beers
Puff on some hookah and catch up with friends
I may gain a few pounds or shed a few tears
But I’ll enjoy every minute till the season begins

CHORUS 2:
I’ve got these iterations
I repeat ‘em all the time
Don’t need more obligations
I promise you I’m doing fine
‘Cause I’ve got these iterations

CHORUS 3:
You’ve got these iterations
You repeat ‘em all the time
Your unkind accusations
But I don’t pay them any mind
‘Cause I’ve got these iterations
