Lyrics
shelby smiles and holds back a grimace
counts down the hours and minutes
she’s working in the ice cream game
she’s been here since she was 11
labor laws don’t phase uncle kevin
he hired her on mother’s day
hey!
but tomorrow shelby’s out taking pictures
no need for tripods or fixtures
she knows the sunrise says it all
reflecting her incessant nostalgia
for a time when things didn’t matter
i think she gets it from our mom
bulls on parade
bringing her back to the days
when she rocked and when she raged
scoops and cones
baby, they don’t break her bones
but she’s feeling so alone
shelby’s going back going back
shelby’s going back going back
going back back to community college
another wasted fucking year!
me and her, we’ve been through the ringer
but i know we’ll find a singer
i know we’ll be there in the end
millennial, oh, malaise
hooked to an IV of praise
so it goes and so she stays
we’re just the same
we think we’re entitled to fame
but her art sucks and i’m insane
shelby’s going back going back
shelby’s going back going back
going back back to community college
