[Bit 1]
It's all right. There are more important things,
but I don't think money can buy you happiness.
I do think that it can whittle down
some of the reasons why you're not happy.
You know what I mean? You can just be like,
"Well, it wasn't that."
That's why rich people--
rich people are the only people who can be, like,
truly depressed.
You know? Like, true "mwah."
Depression. That's a rich privilege.
If you're rich and sad, that's a disease.
And you need to get that fixed immediately.
But if you're poor and sad,
how do you know?
How do you know that it's depression and not just your shitty life?

And I was like before we get all pill crazy, you know before we try changing my brain chemistry
What if we try prescribing something like?
$700 I
I think that might fix me.
