I don't know if we'll do better in Toledo But we're going anyway In a way too big apartment for the 2 of us We'll find out what it takes To make a happy life sometimes you need A fucking break

Toledo 02:51
Brooklyn is a terrible place This much I know No one could do better anywhere This much I know If I could say 'Hey babe, why don't we go to Toledo' And she would, I'd go This much I know I don't like the girls in San Fransisco This much I know The girls in San Fransisco don't like me This much I know If I could say 'Hey babe, why don't we go to Florence, Oregon or to Lawrence, Kansas' And she would, I'd go This much I know I'm so tired of wondering why and where and how I'm going to make it I'm so sick of reading articles online I don't know why I'm so poor and still have nothing to show for life yet I don't know why I'm here - I don't know yet The housing is too expensive everywhere This much I know These computer guys should all be shot This much I know Not to set off any alarms But if I had a gun, I'd do them all some harm And say 'Babe, why don't we go to Toledo' Why don't we go to Toledo If I could and she would I'd go If I could and she would I'd go

A Lot For Me 02:39
Maybe I should lie to everyone Tell 'em I'm home for business Not cause I'm a shitty son Cause it's easier to be rich Than it is to be so depressed And forced into conversations with people I've barely met In line at Target Ask behind the counter if I want some credit I could save 10% on all my purchases today 10% on all my purchases today I could do him a solid It would help out a lot with his manager To finally get promoted to a weekend shift supervisor I think I lost the thread Yeah I lost it (Just like how I'm losing my Dad)

Middle Class 02:51
I wanna earn at least $60k Have no limits on my grocery day I wanna be middle class someday I wanna earn at least $60k With no limits on my grocery day I wanna be middle class someday That all seems so possible and so far away I guess I'm not gonna get most of what I thought I'd get I guess I don't realize how disappointed I'm gonna be when I fully realize that Maybe I could be a manager at Panera Bread I think I'd like that With a regular routine And a uniform to clean And people under me looking up to me - keep their schedules neat I'll be stern and funny, everyone will like me I wanna earn at least $60k Have no limits on my grocery day I wanna be middle class someday I wanna earn at least $60k Have no limits on my grocery day I wanna be middle class someday

Powerless 2 01:27
Don't hesitate Just drop it all Move home and watch your dad die Move home and watch your dad die Move home and watch your dad die Now what? Now you're stuck Just drop it all Don't hesitate Move home and watch your dad die Move home and watch your dad die Move home and watch your dad die This is all you have going on This is it

With Dylan's Dad dying It seems dumb to be worrying about my health And myself, and my dental insurance And my ridiculous deal on rent In a city where all of the movers, and all of the shakers, the millennial quakers Are making so much, and taking so much for their selves It seems stupid to think about my health With Dylan's Dad dying And Republicans trying to make it so much harder for most of us My sister had a baby I thought it might save me from my darkness but It only makes me think of what I don't have and might never have How sick is that? I've been looking at online mortgage calculators I've been doing the math How sad is that? How pathetic is that? I spend so much time thinking I'm 39 With Dylan's Dad dying And Republicans trying to make it so much harder for most of us to live None of this is working None of this is working out
7.
Knives 02:19
You step outside, but not "outside" More like a metaphor, more like it's something smarter Like you tried real hard But writing isn't easy Neither is confronting tragedy Like they all say "Just try it" Like looking for a knife in dirty dishwater You either get smarter or you search harder Like looking for a knife in dirty dishwater You either get smarter or you search harder
8.
XXX 02:24
I'm XXX rated Everyone I know is doing better now I don't know what the point is But I don't have it anyhow I'm XXX rated I'm the President - I'm the President I'm XXX rated Everyone I know is doing better now I'm doing what I can when I can And it's not enough, it's never gonna be enough I'm doing what I want when I want And it's not that much - it's not that much I know it's easy for you You got your rich friends from their rich places and their rich friends in their rich neighborhoods helping you out They're helping you out I'm XXX rated And it's not enough, it's never gonna be I'm XXX rated You don't know what I'm thinking about I'm XXX rated You won't believe it if you heard it you would not believe it I'm XXX rated It's a good thing I can keep it inside all the time

Keep Busy 03:44
I try to keep busy Or at least my version of it Which now includes Yelling at minimum wage workers When I wanna feel rich I can't control my temper any longer I can't control my brain I tried to have a baby I know I'm supposed to say "we" It didn't take a couple times We're still just a boring two person family I've been reading about adoption Like "Hey, maybe I could help" What the fuck do I know about parenting? I still haven't paid off my student loans Let's break it down - there's still about - sixty thou No one bought the Bobby Teenager albums and now I'm working nights, working weekends Anything to bring in that commission Build my nest every bit helps I can't control my spending at this time I can't control my brain What are these songs for? Who is gonna care? Well, I cannot confirm They are selfish like I've been all my life

about

I have been writing songs specifically to send to John Elliott for a couple of years. I like doing it.

A couple of months ago he sent a reaction to one of the songs I released. That in turn inspired me to write a response to him. That continued until we had 10 songs and an accidental album.

This is my favorite thing I have ever done.

Dylan Wise thinks everything is a goof. He makes music that he says is unpretentious but get him talking about it and you'll find that hard to believe. He wrote this.
