Written in 2020 while I was gathering songs for 2. I even watched The Breakfast Club for inspo. Didn't make the cut for 2, and didn't fit the concept for 3. Ended up just releasing it as a random single, but now it's finally got a home. And name another song that name-drops Matthew Broderick as well as David Bowie!

John Hughes film, another John Hughes film
When I need something to feel good
John Hughes film, another John Hughes film
That Great American Childhood

I'm six years old
Sleepovers and 'Home Alone'
I'm freaking out
Laying traps in my own house

John Hughes film, another John Hughes film
That Great American Roadtrip
I watched another John Hughes film
From the backseat of a minivan

I'm mad about
Ferris singing "Twist And Shout"
Now I know that
Ferris was a spoiled brat

Oh save me from
This disaster I've become
Surviving on narratives that are all wrong
Obsessed with youth
Matthew Broderick wouldn't approve
Now I've convinced happy endings don't exist

John Hughes film, another John Hughes film
I used to think they were useful
John Hughes film, another John Hughes film
Cliches and family values

We'll rise above
Morals from 'The Breakfast Club'
'Saved By The Bell'
80s movies don't age well

Oh save me from
This disaster I've become
Surviving on narratives that are all wrong
Obsessed with youth
David Bowie wouldn't approve
Now I've convinced happy endings don't exist
