Vacant in the 21st Century - Matt Maltese

Here I am

Livin' with old ideas

In a country at a loss

With a fetishizing boss

Whose a family man

With a family plan

Laughing in the dispatch bars

As another protest lasts

And I can feel the edge

I can feel the edge

But I still gotta try

To sleep through

In this stale room

Though I can feel a vacancy at night

And they fail you

And they drain you

And I can feel a vacancy at night

The same old ads

That same old man

Saying by your happiness

It’s included with the stress

The swindled kids

On our 7th drink

Lamenting modern age

Just trying to get laid

And I can feel the edge

I can feel the edge

But I still gotta try

To sleep through

In this stale room

Though I can feel a vacancy at night

And they fail you

Then they drain you

And I can feel a vacancy at night

And I know that love

I neglected you for my phone

I can’t help it I’m another helpless drunk

Nothing’s changing so come on get on

Oh but I still gotta try

To sleep through

In this stale room

Though I can feel a vacancy at night

And they help you

And they f*** you

And I can feel a vacancy at night.
