a song about being jealous of your friend iris who does WHATEVER she wants, and you have to work your stupid 9-5 to afford your stupid rent which would be your stupid mortgage if you could afford a stupid house but you're single with no prospects so why are we even here what is going on i wanna live like iris she lives in a goddamn VAN.

lyrics

My friend Iris, she lives in a van.
Saves her money to spend it when she can.
On food or gas or an album to last her her next trip
My friend Iris, is doing alright
Both her parents approve of her life
Of riding around till she's tired and parking by beach signs
So I'll ride around with her till the Volkswagen dies

My friend Iris believes in a God
And if she prays right, he'll give her what she wants
But I've tried kneeling and I haven't heard anything back
Iris found Him driving through Santa Cruz
Silly me thought I found him through you
But she got a record deal and all I got was bad news
Iris is singing 'Good Vibrations' and I'm stuck here singing the blues

Ooo, I quit my job I moved back home
Ooo, tryna find religious repose but
Ooo, all I got was fear of missing out
Guess rules don't apply when you feel as alive as Iris
Oooh Iris

I wanna live like my friend Iris
I wanna live like my friend Iris
I wanna live like my friend Iris
I wanna live like my friend Iris

Ooo, I quit my job I moved back home
Ooo, tryna find religious repose but
Ooo, all I got was fear of missing out
Guess rules oh don't apply when you feel as alive
Don't apply when you feel as alive
Don't apply when you feel as alive as Iris
Oh Iris. Yeayea yeah
