lyrics

We sent the sushi chef
To do reconnaissance
At the chain café next door
Couldn't figure out how
They managed to keep the noise down
With the blender spinning all around

Turns out they just had better hardware
My boss built a small wooden cover
It did jack shit to dampen the sound
Of the bubble tea slushes getting ground down (ground down)

Can't complain at $7.15 an hour
2007, seventeen, and no power
Fourteen hour shifts and cash pay
Peel out in my Mom's gray Camry

My town still means all that to me
Springsteen dreams
of a Jersey teen
Who hadn't really heard
all that much Springsteen yet

about

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
