Lament for a Limited Time

Lyrics

[A Tragic Yet Hilarious Fast Food Ballad]

{Intro}
[Soft piano intro, strings swell in the background]

{Verse 1}
🎶 I walked in, same as always,
Ordered my usual fate…
I smiled, said “you know the one,”
But then—I saw his face. 🎶

🎶 His eyes went dark, his shoulders dropped,
He said, “They took it off the menu, boss.”
I laughed and said, “Real funny, man,”
But he just shook his head. 🎶

{Pre-Chorus}
🎶 What do you mean it’s gone?!?
🎶 It was perfect… it was RIGHT!
🎶 Warm, soft, everything I needed…
🎶 And now it’s vanished from my life?!?

{Chorus}
🔥 I DON’T WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT MY CHICKEN WRAP!
🔥 The perfect bite, the perfect blend, and now it’s NEVER COMING BACK!
🔥 You cruel, twisted souls, how dare you leave this hole?
🔥 Now I am lost… adrift… in a wrap-less abyss…

(whispered, emotional)
🎶 Oh god, what have they dooooone…? 🎶

{Verse 2}
[Soft, reflective, solo piano, crushed hope in every word]

🎶 I remember that warm tortilla,
The way it held me tight…
Crispy, tender, dressed so lightly,
It just… it just felt right. 🎶

🎶 And now my hands hold empty air,
A tray of sadness, blank and bare…
Oh, tell me how—tell me why—
You’d break a love so rare. 🎶

{Bridge}
[Spoken, devastated, building strings]

🎶 They still have the nuggets…
🎶 They still have the fries…
🎶 So tell me, great menu-makers…
🎶 WHY DO YOU PLAY WITH OUR LIVES?!?

🎶 What next? The milkshake?
🎶 You barely fix the machines!
🎶 YOU TOOK THE SNACK WRAP, HOW COULD YOU—
🎶 WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN?!?

{Final Chorus – Absolutely Unhinged}
🔥 I CAN’T GO ON IN A WORLD WITHOUT MY CHICKEN WRAP!
🔥 How do I live? How do I breathe? What am I SUPPOSED TO SNACK ON THAT SLAPS?!?!?
🔥 You heartless fools, just BRING IT BACK, STOP PLAYIN' AROUND!
🔥 Or I swear… I WILL WRITE… A STRONGLY WORDED LETTEEEEEERRRR!!!!

[Melodramatic key change, full orchestra, choir harmonizing behind last note]

🔥 "BRING IT BACK, BRING IT BAAAAAAAAAACK!!"

[Soft piano outro, a single teardrop falls into a cup of forgotten ranch sauce...]

{Outro – Spoken, Broken, Whispered}
🎶 I never even got to say goodbye...
🎶 And now all I have... is pain...
🎶 And a sad, dry, lonely burger... but it’s just not the same…

[FADE TO BLACK]
