LYRICS:

[Verse 1] Fifty-three years rolling on this asphalt floor And I’m staring at a screen like a rotating door Flashing filtered faces asking what I’m worth Like a digital market on a hollowed-out earth Got your bio full of demands and your five-star review But I’m just a simple man with better things to do

[Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you want a performance, you want a limousine ride But I’m already checking out and stepping outside The battery is dying and the signal is weak

[Chorus] So I’m swiping left on the circus tonight! I ain’t jumping through hoops just to see if it’s right Keep your algorithms, keep your high-stakes game I’m staying on the porch, I don’t care to know your name I’d rather grill a steak and wash my own damn truck Than spend a hundred dollars playing roulette for a buck

[Verse 2] Every profile’s a sales pitch, a carbon copy clone Looking for a savior through a mobile phone You want a luxury vacation, a passport stamp While I’m fixing up the alignment on my old desk lamp Transactional feelings sold in fifteen seconds flat No substance in the static, yeah I’m done with all of that

[Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you want a performance, you want a limousine ride But I’m already checking out and stepping outside The battery is dying and the signal is weak

[Chorus] So I’m swiping left on the circus tonight! I ain’t jumping through hoops just to see if it’s right Keep your algorithms, keep your high-stakes game I’m staying on the porch, I don’t care to know your name I’d rather grill a steak and wash my own damn truck Than spend a hundred dollars playing roulette for a buck

[Verse 3] You talk about your healing, your vibe, and your tribe But it feels like a script that a computer prescribed Artificial validation, a digital fix Well, this old dog’s too tired for your internet tricks I don’t need a status symbol sitting in the seat Just to prove to some strangers that my life is complete

[Pre-Chorus] Yeah, you want a performance, you want a limousine ride But I’m already checking out and stepping outside The battery is dying and the signal is weak

[Chorus] So I’m swiping left on the circus tonight! I ain’t jumping through hoops just to see if it’s right Keep your algorithms, keep your high-stakes game I’m staying on the porch, I don’t care to know your name I’d rather grill a steak and wash my own damn truck Than spend a hundred dollars playing roulette for a buck

[Verse 4] So go ahead and double tap, keep hunting for the view I’ve got a toolbox to clean and an engine to tune Peace and quiet doesn’t cost me a dime And I ain’t wasting no more of my blue-collar time

[Chorus] So I’m swiping left on the circus tonight! I ain’t jumping through hoops just to see if it’s right Keep your algorithms, keep your high-stakes game I’m staying on the porch, I don’t care to know your name I’d rather grill a steak and wash my own damn truck Than spend a hundred dollars playing roulette for a buck
