Hotel TV

Another day, I'll take a glance at the to-do list Think to myself, "Hey, ain't you already done do this?" A load of laundry, and I'll check on my finances Ooh the numbers gettin' small, "Should I examine?" Nah, stay clueless Now where to begin on the rest of these mundane tasks What should I do in the middle, what should definitely be last I'll return the thing, stop at the gym, pop in at the store, clean up the floors, and do a little bit of meal prep And then I'm doing dishes, I'm always doing dishes When I flashback on my life, I'll be there standing in the kitchen With my shirt soakin wet, that's not sweat, that's from the dishes All the pots and pans and gosh forbid I gotta clean the Vitamix Notifications, I gotta clear em' all Nah, instead I'll let em' build up while I stare directly at the wall Do what I can do of the to-do the rest tomorrow, do the rest tomorrow, do the rest tomorrow But I still got time enough for, one show I got the mental capacity for, one show Maybe a 45 minute episode, one show And what was the name of that one show? I can't remember Oh yeah, I remember, but it doesn't fit my mood right now, right now Just put it on and feel it out, right now Nah, I was right before but there's time for something shorter, right now Oh shoot, my Hulu logged me out of my account? Right now Guess I'll watch Seinfeld for the 1500th time, and scroll on my phone Why's everything feel so exhausting Decision fatigue's got the best of me Wondering if things could be simpler Turn off my brain, and turn on hotel TV Hi! I'd like your finest mediocre hotel room, please With a phone charger just out of reach Alright, let's see what we got here American Dad, CSI: Wherever the F*ck What's this, Grown Ups 2? Half way through? Eh, I'll leave that on for a little bit Switch to Nick at Nite, sleep timer on, and I'm out Oh shit, I woke up late And my calendar, is it up to date? Arrange, align, appointments all contribute to the ruminate My check engine light was on, but it's gone, so it's outta my mind And I just might find myself in a frenzy gettin into work on time I forgot to respond, to everybody that I said I would Nah nah nah nah nah worry it's been too long Oh they all hate me, yeah they probably should But I remember a time, I think, before the constant overwhelm And yes I know, my responsibilities are low, and I do all of this to myself And adulthood, I get it But man, this feels different Less things to consider Delusionally simpler These rose-colored glasses Allow us to reminisce What it felt like before all of this With a regular job, you could live in a house And the dollar menu kept you fed And when you didn't need an app for that No QR codes, had real menus instead OK boomer Before all the mindless distractions The countless subscriptions The pointless comparisons And the riling algorithms The insatiable greed of a few And where'd all the headphone jacks go Before we accessed all the info in the world And advertisers listen before you even say the word Six fingers in pictures, and updates no one wants They act like doin' us a favor, but it's all for profit, stop Now that self driving cars took over the road Now that ChatGBT became our overlord Now that the takeover's official, well the good news is I'll finally have more time for art, and to create Doin' dishes? I'm still out here doin' dishes? All the technology in the dang world And I'm still soakin' wet? That's vicious I feel like there coulda been a better way for all this to come to fruition But what do I know, I'm getting older And maybe things always look better in that hindsighted 20/20 revision Shit is gettin kinda weird though, right Why's everything feel so exhausting Decision fatigue's got the best of me Wondering if things could be simpler Turn off my brain, and turn on hotel TV Just give me Nick at Nite (why's everything feel so exhausting) And HGTV (decision fatigue ain't got nothin' on me) Guy Fieri in whatever the f*ck (wondering if things could be simpler) Turn off my brain (I dunno) And turn on hotel TV (maybe it's just me)
