about

"Lean In" has a soaring riff, trenchant lyrics, a searing solo, and a goddamn magnificent outro. You’ll like it. A lot.

lyrics

LEAN IN

The circumstances of a day
Of middle-aged Gen X—
taking pills for an aching back
while dreaming of bad sex.
Raise your eyebrows heavenward.
Playact being Job.
Try to reach transcendence,
but come off Lisa Loeb.

Comb the spikes out of your hair
and mind your Ps and Qs.
Lean in till your back goes out,
but you’re still born to lose.

The swing was straight and powerful,
but landed in the weeds.
Now there’s mud caked on your shoes
and on your Macy’s tweeds.
You deny your innocence,
banter about your sin,
but minus invitation,
they still won’t let you in.

Comb the spikes out of your hair
and mind your Ps and Qs.
Lean in till your back goes out,
but you’re still born to lose.


And that was that, you’re getting fat.
You never looked that good.
It’s all a set of manuals
you never understood.
