lyrics

My good gal's padding her stash of cash.
I'm going into overdraft.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

She gets cool G checks from her family.
Mine doesn't even send a card to me.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

It's like you're picking on
A great, big hand farm,
And all you pull up is arms.

My old man's pulling six figures. Bet
All I think he gives me is debt.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

Or working on the home of a PhD.
He don't even seem to notice me.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

It's like you're picking on
A great, big hand farm,
And all you pull up is arms.

My band got a label it was some big deal.
Now, I don't even know if that shit's for real.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

Now I'm bringing out food to a well-off man.
He don't even give me ten percent.
It's like swimming with octopi,
Looking for a hand.

It's like you're picking on
A great, big hand farm,
And all you pull up is arms.

There's a man on the road with a cardboard sign.
Honestly, I can't even spare a dime.
It's like swimming with octopi.
