lyrics

Take a 40 with you on the Pittsburg Line
Forty times I told you that we’ll be just fine
All this constant barking I abandoned my ears
Dad’s a slave to mom, mom’s a slave to wine

When I stumble home there will be no cheers
If you get in trouble meet me back right here
We’re the kings and queens of Palo Alto
Don’t you ask again where I’ll be next year

I’ve got no complaints I’m a privileged bastard
Buy me into Stanford I just gotta ask them
Major in CS join an asian frat house
I don’t give a shit I just wanna pass out

Aren’t these treelined streets what you moved here for?
Look like prison bars from the 2nd floor
Did you plan your escape out to MIT?
Tell me how is life on the other shore

If I strain my eyes I can hear the sea
Birds are cracking jokes and laughing at me
I would crack their necks if it was cool to be violent
You steel your nerves and I’ll steal the keys

Will you look me up when you've made it out there?
If I’m still alive I’ll come find you I swear
I might be the King of Palo Alto
I hope I never find out
