Make A List

I woke up late, my inbox is full
The dishes are dirty-oh, wonderful
I've got a meeting, a deadline, ten tasks and a call
I just need to make a list, that's all

Grocery store, laundry, water the plants
Reply to that text, oh, and dry clean my pants
I'm drowning in tasks, but I will persist
I just need to make a list

I just need to make a list, a simple little list
If I can write it down, it just might exist
From chores to dreams, I'll check them off quick
I always go back to the same timeless fix
Grabbing a pen and writing a list

Now my car's making a weird clicking sound
My plants are dead, my Wi-Fi's down
I've got to prioritize, this is getting bad
I just need to find my little notepad

Call the plumber, renew my license
Learn to meditate, fight my vices
Plan a vacation, escape the abyss
I really need to make a list

I just need to make a list, a simple little list
If I can write it down, it just might exist
From chores to dreams, I'll check them off quick
I always go back to the same timeless fix
Grabbing a pen and writing a list

Now the news is on, and it's all bad
The economy's crashing, I'm kinda mad
Inflation's rising, the climate's a mess
I know a list will make me feel less stress

Asteroid's coming-brace for the hit
Democracy's over? Add it to the list
Aliens are landing, the world's in a twist
I know! I just need to make a list

I just need to make a list, a simple little list
If I can write it down, it just might exist
From chores to dreams, I'll check them off quick
I always go back to the same timeless fix
Grabbing a pen and writing a list

So when the world ends, and we're all toast
I'll be the one who organized the most
With my pad in my hand and a pen in my fist
My last earthly task will be writing a fucking list
