Spent my nights on the couch
Rent is free in someone else’s house
And food is handed out in the park
Found old fruit in the trash
Now there’s oranges in the house
Let’s eat!
I removed the moldy part
Portland’s cheaper than LA
And we have more fun anyway
There’s a hot tub down the street
If you can jump the gate
Don’t you think that you want to live like me
Compost thrown out the window
Now there’s bugs crawling on the floor
Oh shit
I think we made a mistake
Portland’s cheaper than LA
And we have more fun anyway
Got a novel and a box of wine
And I’m doing fine
Don’t you think that you want to live like me
Portland’s cheaper than LA
And we have more fun anyway
Carhartt pants and an Aus Rotten tape
And I’ll smash the state
Don’t you think that you want to live like me
