[Verse 1]
I became friends with Jonathan through the nightlife scene
I met him through the Kardashian's
He was part of their social media team
I knew him from Instagram
Part of the boojee fancy foodie fam
We began talking about our dreams and what we'd like to do
We were both young and had come from means
And we wanted what'd get us that clickbait news

[Chorus 1]
We could have done anything
But we settled on gold encrusted chicken wings
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Oh, why?

[Verse 2]
We'd serve them up all through the night
Charge a thousand bucks for one plate
And I have to admit something didn't feel right
But Jonathan's posts made it all seem great
If they buy it must be good
Just doing what a rich boy should
The trust funders they ate it up
There was good press and some bad
As long as it drove them through the door
Even if it was just a stupid fad
[Chorus 2]
We could have done anything
But we settled on gold encrusted chicken wings
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Oh, why?

[Verse 3]
Jonathan needed to take some time
He had partied too hard, he had crossed that line
But everybody wanted them at their thing
To get their selfies and kiss that ring
He gave in and let it all go
Posed for the pictures, the never-ending show
Time moved on and the fad had passed
And it haunts me we didn't do more
We always knew that it wouldn't last
We should have fed the hungry and helped the poor

[Chorus 3]
We could have done anything
But we settled on gold encrusted chicken wings
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
[Verse 4]
Jonathan died on his birthday
He had just turned 29
A wasted life he had thrown it away
Which remains intact up online

[Chorus 4]
He could have done anything
But he settled on gold encrusted chicken wings
He could have done anything
But he settled on gold encrusted chicken wings

[Outro]
There ain't no water in Flint
There ain't no power in Puerto Rico
There ain't no water in Flint
There ain't no power in Puerto Rico
There ain't no water in Flint
There ain't no power in Puerto Rico
There ain't no water in Flint
There ain't no power in Puerto Rico
There ain't no water in Flint
There ain't no power in Puerto Rico
