MLM Life

Liner Notes:
Okay, anyone who has been in the target sights of an MLM "brand rep" knows how suffocating their attention can be. I don't entirely blame them - most are just trying to make a little side money, but these "businesses" are only setting themselves up for success. Most sellers never even make back their initial investment. I've had a few people try to suck me in, which is laughable. Hard pass. If you don't know that much about MLM structures, it's worth a quick Google.
SOME TERMS DEFINED:
MLM =:Multi-Level Marketing
Hunbot - the women selling MLM products (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hunbot)
Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I've got closets of cosmetics
If you want it I can get it
Yeah, I'm racking up the sales
Cuz I'm in too deep to fail
I've got candles, cards, and leggings
Oh, they'll fit you like a glove
When you see my number calling
Remember "Live, Laugh, Love"
CHORUS
And I'm living that MLM life
It's outta sight
Living that MLM life
Oh, I'm living that MLM life
Can't see the light
Living that MLM life
VERSE 2
They say that I am reckless
I should act like an adult
But they don't know the pressure
Of being in a hunbot cult
Gotta get some new recruits
Off my friend's new mommy blog
Climbing this pyramid scheme
Has become my daily slog
CHORUS
And I'm living that MLM life
It's outta sight
Living that MLM life
Oh, I'm living that MLM life
Can't see the light
Living that MLM life
BRIDGE
Now my credit score
Has gone to hell
Commission is my mission
Every waking moment
Sell! Sell! Sell!
The bank's foreclosing
Soon we'll be out on the street
But there's still a monthly quota
That I've got to meet
VERSE 3
My children's college fund
Went to books and vitamins
Maybe I can save my marriage
By selling collagen
And my family's all on mute
Cuz they think I've lost my mind
No coupon code for them
On my newest greatest find
CHORUS x 2
And I'm living that MLM life
It's outta sight
Living that MLM life
Oh, I'm living that MLM life
Can't see the light
Living that MLM life

interesting topic for a song. i like the humour/sad contrast, nice little details that fill in a lot of the picture. kinda snuck in. nicely done.
Wow! Powerful perspective that highlights the hopes dreams and the realities of this world. The details are so vivid and give me pause! Well done!
