Turn me on like a tv
Turn on me like chinese food in the fridge
Unfortunate
Throw up in a minute or two
Throw up and be a man
The word is in
And you’re out
Not entertaining
Not profund
Not sexy
Not a man
Lonely hairs on my chin
Amazon on my chest
Deforestation is a mess
Sound of cars in my ears
Screams of panic
The word is in
And you’re out
Not entertaining
Not profund
Not sexy
Not a man

Suburban man
Doing what a suburban man can
Nothing
Suburban man
Doing what a suburban man can’t
Everything
I’ve got a mortgage
I better pay
I’ve got a house rolling my way
I’ve got a kid and diapers too
Social security, me and you
Forever uh forever
A suburban man
Doing what a suburban man can
Nothing
Suburban man
Doing what a suburban man can’t
Everything
Who needs to see the world?
The world is bursting with terror
I’d rather play oblivious with climate change
I need my fourwheeler
Make no mistake
No no
I need a new phone
Oh oh
I need a new kitchen
Oh oh
I need that new something
Oh oh
The cancer is coming
Oh no
I’m a Suburban man
Doing what a suburban man does
Nothing
Because I'm scared
Of the consequences
Or unrealistic murderers, rapists
People who wants to sell me something
Let me tell you something
I don't want to buy your shit
I rather stay at home
With my TV, you know
So I can watch it and not do anything
I’ve got a mortgage
I better pay
I’ve got a house rolling my way
I’ve got a kid and a diaper too
Social security, me and you
Forever uh forever
Forever uh forever

Forever unemployed
Forever unemployed
Give me a job
I’ve got so much to offer
We’re just not that into you
Suburban man
Forever unemployed
Forever annoyed
I can do this, I can do that
Momentary bliss in the corner of your eye
let me be your go to guy
We’re just not that into you
But you seem great
And your papers are quite nice
Suburban Man
Forever unemployed
Forever unemployed
Forever unemployed
Forever unemployed
I’m undesired
a bit uninspired
I wearing out my self-awareness
A sensible carelessnessie is real
Nessie is real
She exists
Forever
Nessie exists
Forever
Nessie exists
Forever exist
Nessie exists
She is real
And so are my job opportunities
Please hire me

Waking up
getting ready to believe
the same old story, the same old dream
I’m gonna be big
I want to be famous
I want a photo opportunity
Base ball cards are off the charts
fancy cars in my garage
Big city living
surburban chores
in a big house
How did I get here?
How did I get here?
Well, how did I get
minimum wage?
the blood is clogging
petrified
my room is trembling with fear
I’m sweaty now
Feel sorry for
my ego and I
ego and I
ego and I
ego and I
Everyone will love me
No one will love me, my ego and I
party-time
getting ready to be naked
a swimming pool where everyone is famous but me
minimum wage
the clock is ticking
petrified
my room is trembling with nothing
I’m easy now
Go easy with
my ego and I
ego and I
ego and I
ego and I
Everyone will love me
No one will love me, my ego and I
Don’t let me be unused potential
Don’t let me be
I’ve got so much to offer
And I would like to know you better
but you seem to be infected
but not by my music
Don’t let me be uninvited
Don’t let me miss sweet, sweet drama
Don’t be frightened by my balaclava
Don’t feel sorry for my ego and I

Inflammatory pardon
Revision seems much harder
with a truck on your chest
Carrying a load of
soon expired soda
with a hint of serpent
Teens searching for the real feel
harnessing some tape reels
with a gun to the cheek
eeky bastard
all covered up in mustard
I need some new friends.......
Evasive behavior will never be my savior
You should stay home
Never go out
Never meet anyone
Except for Billy Dee
Empire strike them back
eternity and cravings
chocolate, vanilla shake n’ fries
all the heathens but mostly peoples feelings
Stop burning people
People matter
and also matter matters
what is life without it?
You may ask
but the answer never last
peer reviews sends my thesis to recluse
Evasive behavior will never be my savior
You should stay home
Never go out
Never meet anyone
Except for Billy Dee

Coffee and Hatred

All my dreams are wasted
and all your terrordreams are gone
The unosecond awaits you
Where all your costumers are gone
and the coffee is still fucking bitter
The inevitable awaits you
Divorce and child support
The one that did understand you
What is loving?
What is trust?
9.50 for coffee and hatred
I can’t catch you

I’ve got a mortgage
(To pay off)
Expensive living
(sort of)
Moral complexities
(No more)
Spending dollars like never before
I need vacation
(to cool off)
Mutual vasectomy
(sort of)
Real life complexities
(no more)
Drinking coffee like never before
Postmodern man
Postmodern wife
Postmodern children
Postmodern life
I’m investing
(money lost)
I’ve got values
(he has not)
I’ve got identity
(not enough)
Dead inside like never before
I’ve got a job
(double life)
Earn some money
(privatized)
Empty bank account
(never nice)
Self-aware like never before, never before, never before
Never be a stranger
Don’t look funny
Social economics run my life
Postmodern man
Postmodern wife
Postmodern children
Postmodern life
I'm not enough fiction
fictitiously
I'm not enough reality

We’ve become strangers
We’re carrying more than we’re holding on
Baby, won’t you cry
Modernity is failing you tonight
We’ve become stranger
We’re the ones they write songs about
We’re desperately together
We’re seemingly aparte
Baby, won’t we cry
Modernity is failing us tonight
We’ve become strangers
We can choose identities day or night
Baby, won't we try?
Better Call Saul?
Wet Hot American Summer?
American families
American psycho?
We’ve got demands on demands
We’ve got demands on demand
We’ve got demands on demands
We’ve got demands on demand
Let’s party on
There’s nothing wrong
Except for climate change, facist turn, nothing earned and so on
Oh, pretty please
Entertain me
I’ve got demands on-demand
We’ve got demands on demands
We’ve got demands on-demand
We’ve become strangers
My average score is two point five
And that’s not enough
We’re giving up

Ego & I Aarhus, Denmark
Your friendly neighborhood rock n' roll singer...
I'm just kidding. My neighbors can't stand my singing.
Artist bio:

Ego & I recommends:
Twin Fantasy
by Car Seat Headrest
This album is the embodiment of infectiousness, raw emotion and honesty. It have been on my 'I'm gonna tell all my friends all about it'-list for two years now and I won't shut up about it.
go to album
I think 'Neighborhood Watch' is one of my favorite songs of all time. Just listen to the album! Mike is a garage rock god.
go to album
Queen of the Tides
by Wailing Dunes
My old bandmate is the songwriter and mastermind behind this album. It's a delightfully moody and well performed folk rock album. Give it a listen!

An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow.

Sweet and surf-like pop with lackadaisical vocals from Bay Area favorite Justin Cheromiah.

UK jangle-pop with just enough wit and attitude to offset its sugary sweetness, on Specialist Subject Records.
