Built to Break

This song is about the shadowy conspiracy between home constructors, AC repair, and electric companies, to make houses out of toothpicks and paper so the AC has to run constantly to keep them cooled, making them wear out and have to be replaced faster as well as skyrocketing the electric bill.

Lyrics:
They laid down blueprints with a devilish grin
Whispered plans in shadows full of sin
Walls so thin you can hear a pin fall
The insulation’s a joke it’s barely there at all

Built to break so they keep you on the hook
Forever paying bills while the AC cooks
Electric hum it’s their secret delight
Your money’s their feast every scorching night

Construction’s handshake with a wink on the side
Electric lights flicker but you’re stuck for the ride
And the AC hums like a beast in a cage
Replacing it again it’s the latest rage

Built to break so they keep you on the hook
Forever paying bills while the AC cooks
Electric hum it’s their secret delight
Your money’s their feast every scorching night

And they laugh behind their steel and glass throne
As you sweat in a house that’s not your own
Their conspiracy runs deep with a master plan
Squeeze every dollar out of every man

Built to break so they keep you on the hook
Forever paying bills while the AC cooks
Electric hum it’s their secret delight
Your money’s their feast every scorching night

The thermostat wars a futile fight
No matter the setting it's never right
The AC wheezes cries for help
And the only thing we can say is "whelp"

They built these walls with hollow plans
The kind that crumble in your hands
The AC hums a tireless song
Power's draining all day long
