Real Loss

Album I — Catalog of Obvious Hits Track 2 Melody: Was It 26 (Stapleton) meets Iris (Goo Goo Dolls)

Lyrics

We were sharing our lives together Or so the story goes What really happened is you took it all Even my very soul I thought it all really mattered The worst thing in a daze But what in reality hit me I haven't pooped in days Gave my entire life to my work family We're all for one and one for all That's the way they said they were going to be Then the tariffs hit and the stocks got dire After my 10 hour shift they said that I was fired I thought it all really mattered The worst thing in a daze But what in reality hit me I haven't pooped in days I thought it all really mattered The worst thing in a daze But what in reality hit me I haven't pooped in days [music fades] [barely audible in the background] "Man...let me get out of here...I really got to take a shit..."

Inspiration

Real Loss was written as a meditation on cumulative hardship and the universal human experience of perseverance. The outro was unscripted. The message, however, was intentional. This too will pass. And you will poop again. — Japanese Tea Garden
