Calen Le Couteur On his latest track, Merrick goes back to basics: An acoustic guitar, vocals and his beautiful songwriting. A track filled with sharp, memorable lines that is almost as good reading as it is listening to. BEAUTIFUL track.

lyrics

I sit in a chatroom
Hoping to see you
My highschool sweetheart
Must be so nice to be you

You nudged my heart
And blocked out the rest

These millennial blues
They ain't over yet

MySpace was your space
Your space was mine
I shared with you my thoughts
Maybe too many times

All that is left
Is my fifth glass of wine

And these millennial blues
Takin' over my mind

This book that book
Full of blank faces
I looked for you there
But only found spaces

Where the people I'd known
Had turned strangified

With millennial blues
My friend for life

I tried to see
If there was more to this life
Than struggling to be
In the world's greatest fight

The millennial blues
Take what they like

Avocado
on sourdough bread
Credit cards cancelled
I can't pay the rent

All that is the left
Is the debt on my head

And millennial blues
Taking what they can get

I tried to study
To make me some money
But before I could study
They wanted my money

I aught to be
A cog in the machine

I guess millennial blues
Are worse than they seem

I tried to see
If there was more to this life
Than struggling to be
In the world's greatest fight

The millennial blues
Take what they like

I'm old and weary
So much has passed
I tried to look forward
But I keep looking back

I'm nothing but a friend
Someplace online

Who's Millennial Blues
Have turned into a rhythm
