  Insomnia
  On a Saturday
  Fall asleep
  Only to dream
  Of a holiday meltdown
  Tap my leg
  Bouncing endlessly
  Shake the floor
  My calorie-burning trick
  Never calm down
  Oh, freedom wanting liberty
  No assembly line
  Taking back my time

  Fuck it imma go to the beach
  Imma smoke some weed
  My boss keeps calling me but
  Fuck it imma go to the movies
  Imma eat another gummy

  When it gets too heavy
  I'll be saying
  Fuck it
  Yeah, fuck it

  Imma post it in the sand
  Post up with my sunglasses
  Reflecting on ya
  Yeah, I'm working on my tan
  Then I'm working on my sunburn
  Hello to my aloe
  Been a minute since I used ya
  Back of the fridge disrespected
  All I need is to open up a coconut
  Or some shit like that
  And forget

  Oh, freedom
  Wanting liberty
  No assembly line
  Taking back my time
  Fuck it imma go to the beach
  Imma smoke some weed
  My boss keeps calling me but
  Fuck it
  Imma go to the movies
  Imma eat another gummy

  When it gets too heavy
  I'll be saying
  Fuck it
  Yeah, fuck it
  Fuck it

  Oh, fuck it
  Let's go bowling
  Said fuck it
  Let's go bowling, dude
  Oh, fuck it
  Let's go bowling
  Said fuck it
  Let's go bowling, dude
  Oh, fuck it
  Let's go bowling
  Said fuck it
  Let's go bowling, dude
  Yeah, fuck it
  Let's go bowling
  Said fuck it
  Let's go bowling, dude

  Dude
  I wanna quit
  My fucking job so badly

Track eight on [*MÖB*](/albums/mob/), the manic permission-slip song. It opens in Saturday insomnia (leg bouncing, floor shaking, *never calm down*) and names the politics underneath: *freedom wanting liberty*, *no assembly line*, *taking back my time*. Then the coping vocabulary collapses to one word. Go to the beach, smoke weed, the boss keeps calling, go to the movies, eat another gummy, and *when it gets too heavy* just say *fuck it*.

The hook is dumb on purpose: not the beach, not the movie, **bowling**, four times over. The most mundane rebellion wins, and the coda admits what's actually driving it: *I wanna quit my fucking job so badly*. [*All I Need*](/songs/all-i-need/) closes the album with enough; this track is what enough sounds like when you're still vibrating.
