Haunted, Bored, and Underpaid
Punchy garage-rock guitars layered over boom-bap drums and glitchy FX. The tone constantly shifts between aggressive riffs and deadpan spoken-word flow. Electric bass drives the sarcasm, and distorted choir samples parody “epic” horror clichés. Between verses, distorted demonic laughs and synth sweeps mock any tension. The track feels like Ghostbusters got outsourced to a call center run by a punk band.

Lyrics
Intro – Spooky choir pads, broken radio static, guitar riff kicks in mid-sentence
“This is dispatch, Unit 666 — another haunted toaster.”
Oh great.
Another ghost that thinks Wi-Fi’s demonic.
Let’s go.
Verse 1 – Lo-fi rap flow, dry guitar strums, distant ghostly moans
I wake up at 3, ‘cause a doll said “hi,”
Client’s crying 'cause their fridge can fly.
Salt on the floor, Latin in my email,
Pentagram’s drawn in... eyeliner detail.
“Ghost got issues,” yeah, don’t we all?
I banish it — it Venmos me a spiteful brawl.
I charge by the hour, mood swings included,
But demons leave Yelp reviews — "He was rude and brooding."
Pre-Chorus – Sarcastic falsetto over tremolo-picked guitar
I see dead things... but mostly bills,
My holy water’s tap — that's how I deal.
Stuck in a robe, chanting freelance rites,
But I moonlight on weekends doing poltergeist fights.
Chorus – Full rock riff, half-shouted vocals, children’s choir sample behind
Haunted, bored, and underpaid!
Kicked a demon’s butt, still rent ain’t paid!
Heard a ghost say “boo,” I said “same, bro.”
Stuck in this biz for the ego show!
Verse 2 – Trap hats join the mix, bass thickens, rap tone more annoyed
Got called to a house where a chair floats smug,
Turns out it’s a cat with a drug rug bug.
Ouija board drama — basic as sin,
Spelled “LOL” then caught fire in the bin.
This ain't hell, it’s just Craigslist gigs,
Where witches text spells like viral TikToks with wigs.
I told a banshee “shhh,” she shrieked in D,
Now my ear’s possessed and my tea’s not free.
Pre-Chorus – Mock-dramatic harmonies and baroque harpsichord patch
I prayed once… then invoiced twice,
Holy sigils printed with budget spice.
"Cleanse this room," they say — with what? Febreze?
These spirits got drama like daytime TV.
Chorus – Now with distortion cranked, children’s choir sings sarcastically louder
Haunted, bored, and underpaid!
Banished a ghoul, got a parking ticket raid!
Got cursed by a kid with a haunted flute,
Now my Spotify only plays demon loot.
Bridge – Spoken word breakdown over jazz bass and faint scream loop
They summoned a devil in their IKEA den.
Named him Greg.
Greg just wanted soup.
I made him soup. He left.
The couple gave me a 2-star review —
soup was cold.
Final Chorus – All-in, glitchy synth stabs added, choir laughs instead of sings
Haunted, bored, and underpaid!
These spirits scream but my boss just waved.
Got ghosted by ghosts — that’s peak despair.
Still I show up… ‘cause I signed the waiver.
Outro – Quiet ambient wind, children’s laughter in reverse, devil’s voice whispers:
"See you next Tuesday… bring snacks."
