lyrics

When I Get Paid

I’m gonna get my hair done
When I get paid.
I’m gonna go out and have fun
When I get paid.

I’m gonna take a road trip
When I get paid.
I’m gonna do a back flip
When I get paid.

Cus I can’t do shit,
Until I get paid.

Go to the doctor for a checkup
When I get paid.
I’m gonna get my car a tune up
When I get paid.

I’m gonna buy vitamins
When I get paid.
I’ll be so excited when
I finally get paid.

Cus I can’t do shit,
Until I get paid.

I’m gonna get therapy
When I get paid.
I’m gonna take care of me
When I get paid.

I’m gonna have a party
When I get paid.
Yeah, all your drinks are on me
When I get paid.

But I can’t do shit,
Until I get paid.
All the things I’m gonna get,
When I get paid.

When I go out to eat
I’ll even order an appetizer.
I’ll drink champagne,
Instead of Budweiser.

I’m gonna buy a warm coat
When I get paid.
Take a ride in an airboat
When I get paid.

But I can’t do shit,
Until I get paid.
All the things I’m gonna get,
When I get paid.

Tickets to a Knicks game
When I get paid.
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
When I get paid.

I’ll buy expensive hot chocolate
When I get paid.
With all that money in my pocket
When I get paid.

Gonna go and see a show,
Sit up in the front row,
Maybe buy a Van Gogh
When I get paid.

Get my phone an upgrade,
Have my clothes all custom made,
Buy a pair of new shades
When I get paid.

I’ll give out huge tips,
Gonna subscribe to Netflix,
Man, I’m gonna shake my hips
When I get paid.

Buy a bunch of books secondhand,
Finally pay back all my friends,
Go on tour with my band
When I get paid.

But I can’t do shit,
Until I get paid.
All the things I’m gonna get,
When I get paid.

Nuclear Family Fantasy explores the impact of growing up with the illusion that the nuclear family is still the ideal.
