  • The milk is sour
    I've barely been to college
    And I've been doubtful
    Of all that I have dreamed of
    The brink of my existence essentially is a comedy
    The gap in my teeth and all that I can cling to

    The milk is sour
    Sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la

    The milk is sour
    With olives on my thumbs
    And all that I have stuck to and all that I have clung to
    I've fought like a dog
    This world that I have trusted
    Is bent over and busted and rusted by an arbitrary sonogram

    Sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la

    The milk is sour
    With olives on my thumbs
    And I've been doubtful
    Of all that I have dreamed of
    The brink of my existence essentially is a comedy
    The gap in my teeth and all that I can cling to

    The milk is sour
    Sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la

    If you don't go outside
    Well nothing's gonna happen
    She'll never write her number on a crumpled up napkin
    She'll never be your ego
    She'll never be a bandit
    She'll never get to eat you like your heart's a pomegranate

    I'm throwing out the milk
    The olives got old
    I'm tired of my mind getting heavy with mold
    I need to start a garden
    I need to start a garden
    I need to start a garden
    I need to start a garden!

    Gonna start a garden in my backyard
    I'm gonna start a garden in my backyard
    'Cause making this song up is just as hard
    'Cause making this song up is just as hard

    Oom oom sha la la
    Oom sha la la
    Oom oom sha la la
