LYRIC FOR SALE

By Arun Sawad

[verse]
Alarm goes off, it's morning light
My thumb is stuck in a 'Six Seven' fight
Hit the button, just nine more snooze
Or is it snoozes - who can sn-choose?
Get up now, and face the breeze?
My eyes are open, but my brain won't react
Six seven got me under attack.
[Vocal echo effect] Six seven

[verse]
Stare at the closet, a colorful mess
'Six Seven' got me in distress
Blue shirt, green, stripe maybe red?
These jeans are clean, but hey wait a stain!!
Back to Bed!
Stuck in my boxers, up in the loft.
Six seven got me all up and lost.
Six Seven...

[chorus]
Oh 6 7
6 7, 6 7, what can I do?
It's up to you. Oh, how to choose?
You never know when a six and a seven are involved
It's up in the air back and forth
6 7 u u u 6 7 u u u

[verse]
Stumble to the kitchen, need some fuel
'Six Seven' makes the choices cruel
Cereal's fast but the milk is low
Toast is good but the toaster's slow
Eat the pizza slice that's old and cold?
Or make some eggs like I was told?
'Six Seven' got me, I'm just gonna starve.
That’s what happens when you six seven before school.

[chorus]
Oh 6 7
6 7, 6 7, what can I do?
It's up to you. Oh, how to choose?
You never know when a six and a seven are involved
It's up in the air back and forth
6 7 u u u 6 7 u u u

[verse]
Hopped on the bus, but the panic grew
'Six Seven' vision, what to do?
Take the window, watch the world go past?
Or take the aisle, and move real fast?
Sit by the front, and chat with the driver?
Or hide in the back, be a sole survivor?
The bus is moving, I'm still in the aisle, what a goof.
Six Seven got me confused.
Six Seven...

[verse]
Finally in class, my brain's a haze
Stuck in a 'Six Seven' mental maze
The teacher says, "A simple task for you,"
"Just open up to sixty-five plus two!"
The whole class shouts, "SIXTY-SEVEN!” - AMEN!
I break a sweat, is this hell or heaven sent?
The number's mocking me, it's starin' me down,
Six Seven is always around.
Six Seven,,,

[Chorus]

[verse]
Back from school, the freedom's sweet
But 'Six Seven's' got my willpower beat
Should I do my math, be smart and wise?
Or watch ten hours of "Cats Who Are Spies"?
Fortnite or Roblox, Minecraft or Royale - [vocal effect] Clash!
Games all night or essay’s due in the mornin – what can I do?
My backpack's on the floor, my brain is on the moon.
Six Seven got me all confused.
Six Seven...

[verse]
Need a snack to power up my game
But 'Six Seven' calls my stomach's name
Grab an apple, crunchy, red, and neat?
Or eat the whole bag of cheesy feet?
A single cookie, just a little treat?
Or the whole tub of ice cream, can't be beat!
Stood here for an hour, now it's time for dinner - great!
Six seven takes you all night.
Six Seven...

[chorus]

[verse]
The house is dark, the day is done
My 'Six Seven' battle's just begun
Left side, right side, on my back, on my face
My pillow's losing this race
Then my phone screen makes a gleam
Living out a 'Six Seven' fever dream
"Next episode starts in 5..." Should I let it play?
Or go to sleep - save it for another day?
The countdown's on... 3... 2... 1... 'Six Seven' always won.
Six seven you got me so confused
Six seven...

[chorus]
[repeat and fade]
