Finally someone let me out of my cage
Wait a second - realize I'm stuck on a stage
in a solipsist's simulation of a sickening charade
Is this an existential crisis or a pineal parade?
Another day, 'nother drop in the bucket
A truckload of frozen dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets
Unbuckle your seatbelt and speak through a puppet
It's a musical adaption of The Man From Nantucket
Unusual, beautiful, indisputably chewable
I've got no budget, I'm skeptical it's doable
Gotta grind daily in a six by ten cubicle
All that shit gets thrown into the crucible
Forged into platinum, I've planned and prepared
But I focus on a shiny thing and have a love affair
and discover yet another layer to the magic square
and I don't come up for air because I'm

Scavenging and scrapping and crafting and upgrading
Scavenging and scrapping and crafting and upgrading

Hey boo, you do too many video games
Not fair, au contraire, I achieve all kinds o thangs

Like detecting, collecting, erecting a fortress
Resting, and questing, and besting assortments
of ne'er-do-wells, feral ghouls, robots and pack dogs
mongrels, and mutants, and mole rats and deathclaws

Hey bae, you play too many video games
When you overdo nothing else remains

You’re just scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what
scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what

For Daddy-O, Psycho, Buffout and Radaway
Med-x and Mentats, I’ll include ‘em on my resume
Chems first thing in the morning like a matinee
Then drop the Grafton monster to the ground --child’s play!
Got some leather armor lifted off a dead man
Modified the hide with the steel from a tin can
Got a workshop, eliminate the middleman
I got you covered if you don’t have the attention-span

for scavenging, and scrapping and crafting, and upgrading
scavenging, and scrapping, and...and ...
...Oh my god…. and all for what?!
scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what?!

So I changed out of my pajamas, put the bong up on the shelf
Straightened my tie and applied myself
Drank eight cups of water, got eight hours of sleep
Cut out the gluten, cut out the drink
Balanced my budget, cleaned the garage
Went to the gym and got a massage
Paid my taxes, got a college degree
Then a little voice said to me

Look now, see how everything's the same?
I'm sure this world is just a video game
the truth is absolutely manufactured to betray

You're just scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what?
scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what
scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what
scavenging, and scrapping, and crafting, and all for what
