when i go home for christmas i wish that i could brag
about the job and salary that i've never had
i want my friends and family to look and be impressed
but it's hard to find a talking point when you're post grad depressed
but you can't bring this up over family dinner talks
instead it's time to tell them all that i invest in stocks
even though i'm really just a few years past my prime
and no one can convince me that a job will come in time
how's your house
what's boston like
how's the job hunt
how's your life
where's your friends
are they on strike
pay your bills
for all your life
i prepare my story at least six weeks in advance
an elevator speech about my average circumstance
the unimpressive sibling with a massive coverup
everything is fine i promise i can measure up
but what do i admit to when they ask about it all
do i pretend that i'm adjusting to this new suburban sprawl
as the holiday approaches i wish that i could flee
so everyone can feel better bout my college degree
how's your house
what's boston like
how's the job hunt
how's your life
where's your friends
are they on strike
pay your bills
for all your life
