about

Inspired by Donny Benét's "Working Out".
This would never happen. Right?
Right?

lyrics

I’m working out, honey - don’t laugh, it isn’t funny
I’m training hard for my future career of sim racing for lots of money
I’ve quit my job and I’ve taken a loan
I’ve sold our fridge and our oven, and also mortgaged our home

Ch-check it out, see this rig? It’s what real racing teams use
To test their drivers and search for some engineering clues
I’m still kind of a novice, I’ve never done this before
But with professional equipment I will wipe the floor

You see

I hope that I can join a powerhouse team
And work my way up to champion of the DWC
Wh-what’s that? What did you say? How are we gonna eat?
Sit tight my love, soon the dough will roll in when I’m with sim racing’s elite

Drive to impress - yes, that is your wedding dress out on the lawn, but then
It’s not like you’re going to use it again
Unlike this five grand wheel and six axis motion rig
No time for entry level normies, gotta start out big

I took a photo and I posted it to reddit, but they don’t seem to get it
They just won’t give me credit, “You’re insane” - they said it
Apparently I’ve got the wrong FOV
What’s that supposed to mean? Are they just trolling me?

I’m rolling out all the changes to my lifestyle
Practice 8 hours a day then put my thermals on and run for 20 miles
This is a new life, new day, new me
Don’t look at me like that, soon I’ll be pro, you’ll see

Racing is life, anything before or after is just waiting
So screw the plans for a family, there’s no time for procreating
I’m a rising star, I’m sure I will go far
Once I find out more about the types of cars there are

I’m feeling great honey, yes I spent tons of money
But lots of people go without to make their future just a bit more sunny
Starting today, there is no more rest
I have started from the bottom to become the best

So what’s for dinner tonight? I think it’s your turn to cook
We’ll get that started while I read this driving techniques book
Oh wait, there’s no oven or fridge - oh well, that’s okay
We’ll just get takeout - hey honey, why are you walking away?
