I Ain’t Buyin’ It — A Song for Everyone Getting Robbed at Checkout | Bwned

Everything costs more. Groceries are ridiculous. Bills keep climbing. Somehow everybody’s supposed to just smile and keep swiping the card. “I Ain’t Buyin’ It” is a dark Appalachian / Americana song about trying to laugh your way through an economy that feels increasingly absurd. This version includes on-screen synced lyrics so you can follow the whole thing. 🎵 I AIN’T BUYIN’ IT — FULL LYRICS [Bread went up Rent went up Gas went up again Paycheck came Paycheck went Before the week could end They say, "That's just how it is now" Like that makes it all okay Everybody's got a reason Why I'm poorer every day I AIN'T BUYING IT Not the story Not the spin Not the price tag on the shelf Or the bullshit packaged in I AIN'T BUYING IT Call it normal if you want You can keep on selling it I ain't buying it Everybody's hiring Nobody calls you back Five years for an entry job For pay that still ain't jack Electric bill is sky-high From my busted central air While I listen to the cheers For the world's first trillionaire Keeping warm beside my ramen As rockets soar into the air I'm blowing on these noodles Like somehow that's even fair I AIN'T BUYING IT Not the story Not the spin Not the forty-dollar motor oil Or the bullshit packaged in I AIN'T BUYING IT Call it normal if you want You can keep on selling it I ain't buying it Covid War Supply chain Rates Every year A brand-new name Groceries cost so damn much Folks are joking with a grin "Forget the food — get Ozempic Maybe hunger's cheaper then" NEW PRICE NEW WAR NEW FEAR SAME LINE SELL IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE I AIN'T BUYING IT I AIN'T BUYING IT Not the story Not the spin Not the privilege of scraping by And calling that a win I AIN'T BUYING IT Call it normal if you want You can keep on selling it You can keep on selling it I ain't buying it About the track: Dark Appalachian folk / bluegrass with stomp-and-clap energy, banjo, acoustic guitar, dark humor, and a little frustration thrown in for good measure. If you’ve ever stared at a grocery receipt and thought, “There is absolutely no way that cost that much,” this one’s for you. Artist: Bwned Song: I Ain’t Buyin’ It
