Sauce Packet Zen

[Intro]
[Verse]
Static on the speaker wire
Tires spinning in the mire
Welcome to the neon fire
I’m just a consumer buyer
Dollar menu, corporate liar
Take me higher, take me higher
[Pre-Chorus]
The lights are blinking fast
The future is the past
The engine starts to groan
I’m feeling so alone
[Chorus]
Oh, feed me the salt and the grease
I’m just looking for a little peace
In the shadow of the golden crown
While the whole world is burning down
Yeah, we’re living on a value meal
Trying to remember how to feel
[Post-Chorus]
Value meal
How to feel
Value meal
How to feel
[Verse]
Minimum wage for a maximum rage
We’re all just rats in a plastic cage
You’re flipping the bird or flipping the patty
The manager’s acting a little bit chatty
But the shake machine is cold and dead
Like the thoughts inside my heavy head
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock is ticking slow
With nowhere left to go
The concrete starts to crack
There’s no turning back
[Chorus]
Oh, feed me the salt and the grease
I’m just looking for a little peace
In the shadow of the golden crown
While the whole world is burning down
Yeah, we’re living on a value meal
Trying to remember how to feel
[Breakdown]
(Spoken)
"Yeah, I'll take the number four. Large. And honestly? I don't even want the toy. I just want to know if the 401k is a myth or if we're all just paying for the privilege of standing in this line. You know? Anyway... keep the change. Oh, wait, you can't. Company policy. Just give me the bag."
[Bridge]
We’re the ghosts in the machine
Chasing things we’ve never seen
But then you reach across the sill
And time is standing perfectly still
You hand me the gold in a foil wrap
A little escape from the global trap
[Chorus]
Oh, feed me the salt and the grease
I’m just looking for a little peace
In the shadow of the golden crown
While the whole world is burning down
Yeah, we’re living on a value meal
Trying to remember how to feel
[Hook]
One packet of honey mustard
And I’m no longer flustered
One packet of barbecue
And I’m sticking with you
One packet of sweet and sour
In our final, greasy hour
[Post-Chorus]
Value meal
How to feel
Value meal
How to feel
[Outro]
