Lyrics Vacant in the 21st Century - Matt Maltese

Vacant in the 21st Century

Here I am
Livin' with old ideas
In a country at a loss
With a fetishizing boss
Whose a family man
With a family plan
Laughing in the dispatch bars
As another protest lasts
And I can feel the edge
I can feel the edge
But I still gotta try
To sleep through
In this stale room
Though I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you
And they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
The same old ads
That same old man
Saying by your happiness
It’s included with the stress
The swindled kids
On our 7th drink
Lamenting modern age
Just trying to get laid
And I can feel the edge
I can feel the edge
But I still gotta try
To sleep through
In this stale room
Though I can feel a vacancy at night
And they fail you
Then they drain you
And I can feel a vacancy at night
And I know that love
I neglected you for my phone
I can’t help it I’m another helpless drunk
Nothing’s changing so come on get on
Oh but I still gotta try
To sleep through
In this stale room
Though I can feel a vacancy at night
And they help you
And they f*** you
And I can feel a vacancy at night.
