oodles of items to tick off my list
wish they didn't exist
train travel circling around my head
sometimes wish that I could stay in bed
won't you wake me up from this bad dream
sometimes life is harder than it seems
just cool down, you've got simmer down
say aah...
and wait..
for the efflux of time
in the morning
I get so afraid
I don't know why
I've just got the mean reds
no it's not the blues
but my folks are unhappy
and my rent is 5 days late
I've got so much on my plate
so wake me up from this bad dream
sometimes life seems harder than it is
just cool down, you've got simmer down
say aah...
and wait..
for the efflux of time

Stuff on our Minds
02:52

This is the story about a man
Who carried a parcel in his hand
In a brown paper bag
He didn't want the people to know what he had
So he went to a corner
opened it up and took a swig
The world seemed more beautiful
and he thought to himself
Why do we..
Constantly feel blue
Why do we
Look to substance to change the hue
Why do we
Put poison in our bodies every night
Is that our plight
Because we got stuff on our minds
Because we got stuff on our minds
And as the liquor got to his head
He still couldn't get to bed
At night
Something just wasn't right
and so he
Called the doctor, called the nurse
Called the lady with the alligator purse
And they didn't have answers but they sat together and they all wondered why
Why do we..
Constantly feel blue
Why do we
Look to substance to change the hue
Why do we
Put poison in our bodies every night
Is that our plight
Because we got stuff on our minds
Because we got stuff on our minds

Aditi:
How old are you now 25, 26?
The family's asking when you going to get hitched
Drop some babies in the mix
Your internal clock is ticking, why you got me in a fix
When you settle down you can do as you wish
Why don't you find a good man, the sea is full of fish
Don't you understand, that's not all I want?
I've got my own aspirations, so don't call me nonchalant
But you're of marriageable age
Dark side of your twenties
You're of marriageable age
Freedom of spirit you've had plenty
Why are you running around
What are you doing with your life
You going to end up in the lost and found
If you're no someone's wife
soon..
Dee:
Time is ticking ticking why you wanna slip it slip it
Your beauty is dripping dripping why you think you're different different
You're getting flipped flipped time to get you hitch hitched
Turn off your switch switch time to dream is up kid
It is our business hypocrisy is limitless
This is the system no point in resisting
The more you say no, the harder we gon try
It is our only goal, don't ask us why
You're in India, not in the States
What is lost once cannot be replaced
Here's another rishtaa now just don't debate
If the stars align then why the fuck you wanna wait
Beta you're a sack of egg better pop before it's late
We don't wanna see you be free just blame it on your fate
Purani soch ko badalna namumkin hai
Jiyo ji bharke but only if you're misses and
Shaadi ke baad karlo hugs lelo kisses man
License to live hai yeh marriage certificate
Why don't you understand? You're a zimmedari
Bachpana tum chodo ab kya kahegi duniya saari
Look at this photo your maasi just sent me
Don't you roll your eyes baby you can be his lady
Cook him food after work try to keep him happy
In laws are in charge now always gotta be sanskaari
Being a brown girl is both a curse and a boon
They wanna tie me down but I wanna touch the moon
Marriageable Age khaul raha hai khoon
Can't wait till your 30 the time is coming soon

I'm a small fish
in a big pond
Swimming against the current of life
and it isn't always very nice
In my old stream
I used to dream
of swimming away
But this water seems too cold
Maybe I'm just getting old
Let's call it a day
I'm a small fish
in a big pond
Swimming against the current of life
and it isn't always very nice
In my old stream
I used to dream
of swimming away
But this water seems too cold
I mustn't buckle
Must be bold
Keep swimming my way
