Welcome to Permanent Detention – a raw, ironic, and emotional pop-punk anthem about Gen Z and millennials who feel stuck between paying bills and chasing dreams. With groovy verses, punchy choruses, and lyrics that hit close. This song is a new soundtrack for surviving modern life. 👇 Lyrics [Verse 1] Woke up late, hit snooze again, Might call in sick, might just pretend. Gotta work, but what’s the point? I make just enough to disappoint. Same old hoodie, ripped-up jeans, Bought 'em cheap back in '16. Boomers say, "Go buy a home," But my bank app says "You're broke." [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I have a dream, But now I'm stuck inside a meme. Maybe I just need more time, Still can laugh, I’m doing fine. [Chorus] I’m in permanent detention, Still stuck in my old dimension. Rent is high, my bank is low, Where the hell did my future go? Can’t buy a house, can’t buy a car, Splitting rent with five so far. Life keeps saying "grow up fast," But I just want to last. [Verse 2] Scrolled my feed, saw everyone’s rich, Maybe shoud've tried to switch, No more faith in old degree, Even three won’t set me free. Thought about getting a rescue cat, Checked my budget—welp, scratch that. Guess I’ll just adopt a plant, Hope it survives this tiny flat. [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I had a plan, But life just laughed and raised my rent again. Playing video games all night, Pretending that I’m doing fine. [Chorus] I’m in permanent detention, Still stuck in my old dimension. Rent is high, my bank is low, Where the hell did my future go? Can’t buy a house, can’t buy a car, Splitting rent with five so far. Life keeps saying "grow up fast," But I just want to last. [Bridge] I should have grown up by now, I should have figured it out. But the world keeps raising the price, While acting like it’s my own vice. They say, "Work hard, you’ll be just fine," But my boss just cut my dime. I play pretend, I fake a smile, But this whole world feels so hostile. [Final Chorus] I’m in permanent detention, Still stuck in my old dimension. Rent is high, my bank is low, Where the hell did my future go? Can’t buy a house, can’t buy a ride, Barely got a roof, let alone pride. Life keeps saying 'grow up fast,' But all I want now is just to last." [Outro] Woke up late, lost in my head, Chasing a life I’ll never get... 📌 Tags: #PopPunk #GenZAnthem #homonmusic
