lyrics

Well it’s just your average lunchtime
I’m following an antline
This might be the longest antline I’ve ever seen
Tracy reaches in her backpack
Pours a Big M down my butt crack
For the rest of the day the ants are on me

Oh why grandma why
Are children so mean
Now my shirt smells like bananas and cream
Oh why grandma why
And this is what my grandma said to me

She said put on a puffy jacket
Cause the weather looks bad and it’s gonna get worse
Put on a puffy jacket
Cause the forecast today is a strong chance of jerks

Well it’s just your average work day
I’m cleaning out the paper tray
Even though technically that’s Tim’s responsibility
Tim has only been here
For just over 1 year
He’s already getting paid 3 times more than me

Oh why grandma why
Do people treat you differently
Cause of your gender identity
Is it my imagination?
Or is this discrimination?
Do I bring it up and cause a fuss or just let it be?

Or do I put on a puffy jacket
Cause it’s starting to rain heavy and thick
Put on a puffy jacket
Otherwise you’ll get soaked with other people’s bullshit

Put on a puffy jacket
The weather’s unstable and hard to predict
But if you’re wearing a puffy jacket
Maybe you won’t get blown away by it

But grandma, what if I’m the jerk?
Cause I’m only seeing things from my side
But if people do wrong, they should be called out
Ain’t that right, Ain't that right?

And grandma said what makes you think that you know what’s right?
And it’s your job to fix and confront
Everyone is out there trying their best
… But also sometimes people are cunts

So put on a puffy jacket
Don’t waste your breath when a storm’s bout to hit
Put on a puffy jacket
Cause bad weather don’t change if you yell at it

Grandma I’ve been wearing this puffy jacket
And now I’m anxious and sweaty all of the time
Cause when I’m wearing this puffy jacket
I’m expecting the worst of all mankind

And my grandma said
Put on a puffy jacket
When the weather is wild and out of control
But then take off your puffy jacket
Cause life is too short to always be in the cold

Put on a puffy jacket
When people are cruel and you need peace of mind
But you won’t always need your puffy jacket
Cause there are people out there who want to be kind

You might not think you have much power
Cause cruelty seems much louder
You fear that love and understanding you’ll never find
But if you listen closely
I think you’ll find that mostly
People out there want to be kind
There are people out there who want to be kind
There are people out there who want to be kind

I said put it on, your puffy jacket
Take it off, your puffy jacket
Put it on, your puffy jacket
Take it off, your puffy jacket
Put it on, your puffy jacket
Take it off, your puffy jacket
Put it on, your puffy jacket
Take it off, your puffy jacket
