FAWM 2018 #16: All Modern Cons

An ode to roommates everywhere.

Thanks to all the FAWMers who have made this month so fun!

Lyrics

VERSE
Looking at Apartment Lister,
or the weekend classifieds,
You're tired of sponging off your sister,
you need your own place to hide.

VERSE
Then you spot what looks like a winner,
Share a walk-up flat with three.
Right on the bus line, all modern cons,
And only half your take home pay.

CHORUS
All those modern cons
are so hard to live without.
Never have to drink your own last beer,
Or smoke that last cigarette.
Hot and cold running egos,
Your dirty laundry aired for free.
Maybe modern cons ain't so convenient for me.

BRIDGE
Maybe I'll just be a hermit,
Or sleep out in the yard in a tent.
I can't afford those modern cons,
They cost so much more than the rent.

CHORUS
All those modern cons
are so hard to live without.
Never have to drink your own last beer,
Or smoke that last cigarette.
Hot and cold running egos,
Your dirty laundry aired for free.
Maybe modern cons ain't so convenient for me.
