Give a Sip, Not a Shit

[Verse 1]
Boss says
“We should talk”
Slides that spreadsheet across
I swirl a glass in my head
Think
“Bill me for the lost cause”

Mom calls
Double rings
“Have you thought about kids?”
I toast the ceiling fan
Say
“I’m busy minding my biz”

[Chorus]
Two to three glasses of wine a day
Might reduce my risk of giving a shit
Raise that stemware up in my face
Doctor
Write that down
I’m living by it
Two to three sips and I’m fine with it
Guess I’m highly allergic to giving a shit

[Verse 2]
Ex texts
“We should meet”
Types “urgent” like it’s bold
I pour a chardonnay shrug
Let that message grow cold

Newsfeed screams on my phone
End of everything
Part four
I’m pairing panic with pinot
Sleeping just fine on the floor

[Chorus]
Two to three glasses of wine a day
Might reduce my risk of giving a shit
Side effects listed as “feeling okay”
Yeah
I’ll risk it all
I’m committing to it
Two to three sips and I’m done with it
Self-care plan: I’m done giving a shit

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to claps and bass]
Here’s my wellness routine
Call it “don’t care clean”
Deep breaths
Deep reds
Laugh it off
Go to bed (oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Two to three glasses of wine a day
Might reduce my risk of giving a shit
If they judge
Let ’em judge away
They can keep their stress
I’m over it
Two to three sips
Then I’m out of it
My favorite cure for giving a shit
