Negative/Positive – Brandon's Song lyrics

Verse 1:

Office job going nowhere,
Low salary
Just enough to get by
Coworkers treat him like trash,
Just a boring 39-year-old guy
But then he finds his epiphany
Just like serendipity
When the new guy shoves him in his cubicle
So he marches on down to Mr. Bossman's office and says:
"I can't live like this anymore"

Pre-chorus:

Too old to have fun, he wants to be one of the cool kids...

Chorus:

Cranking out viral vids,
Desperate to find reaction
Trying to hide the fact
His life is delayed action
Growing old too fast,
Tryna do something 'bout it
His boring life's in the past and
Now it's too late to quit

Verse 2:

He finds himself down at the barber shop
Demanding those frosted tips
They ask him if he wants to go through with it, he says
"I've never been sure about anything but this"
He's walking 'round town with a newfound swagger when
He heads over to his Microsoft machine
He cracks open Yahoo to find himself some purpose when he
Stumbles upon some Youtube star teens

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Verse 3:

Now his life is anew, yeah he knows what to do
Just working on those weekly vids
Who needs connections when you have Youtube challenges?
BRANFAM, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY KID
Then one day his wife cracks open the garage,
He's been there for the better half of a year
She finds him hunched up in the corner
As he sheds a single lonely tear
His channel was failing so he knew he had to try
To buy 10,000 subs, but he only got 5
And then as he wallows, swallowed by grief
He realized his son had moved to university

Bridge:
His wife had divorced him,
Some new people bought the house,
Now he's out of money and
No one thinks he's funny
But everyday he tells himself he's a creator
And in his cold abyss he whispers:
"I don't care about the haters"

Chorus
