I Volunteer for the Snacks

Intro

Yo, yo, uh, yeah — ha! (skrrt)

Welcome to the Hunger Games: the snack edition, ayy

I volunteer... for the chips — oh-oh

Verse

I woke up in District Twelve with crumbs on my face

Mama said "find a job," I said "nah, find a taste"

They drew my name, now I'm famous on a cereal box

Got sponsors sendin' pizza, and a drone that cooks the stocks

Effie with the glitter, she clap-clap with a sash

She said "Smile for the camera, you're viral in a flash" (yuh)

Training montage: I aim, I miss, I aim again

Practice on apples in the orchard, call it archery zen

My stylist's a pastry chef, hair made of cotton candy

Capitol's on livestream, their confetti's kinda randy

They teachin' survival: find water, make a fire

I found a hot dog vendor and signed up to retire

Mentor said "stay low," I said "nah, I like the limelight"

I'm dodgin' rules and marshmallows in the arena at midnight

The rulebook's thick, but I skimmed to the snack clause

It says "anything goes if you're bringin' your own sauce" (ayy)

I sneak to the cornucopia for the cheddar mountain

Guard dog steals my sandwich — we form a truce, we countin'

Chorus

I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks)

I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (let's go)

Verse

Got a Mockingjay ringtone, it's autotuned and bright

My anthem's a ringtone sold in three colors: day, noon, night

They pitched me a contract: "Be adorable, wear sequins"

I said "I'll barter bread crumbs for a coach who actually wins"

My rival's a baker with a rolling pin of doom

She throws cupcakes like confetti, call it pastry bloom

We form an alliance: me, her, and a goat named Pete

We trade fashion tips and secret maple-syrup tweets

The cameras love drama, but we love the buffet

We stage a food fight, then we all share the lasagne, hey

Sponsors throw parachutes with scented candles and socks

I catch a hamper full of gummy bears, my hunger stops (uh-huh)

President on the balcony dancin' with a disco cane

He tosses down a coupon for a lifetime of free grain

But I'm here for the taste, not for the status or the fame

If I win the arena, I'm openin' a midnight snack chain

My victory speech: "I'd like to thank the fries, the dips, the crew"

And the Capitol's like "Wow, that merch will sell through!"

Chorus

I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks)

I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks), I volunteer (for the snacks)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (skrrt)

Bridge

We rode the train of glitter, rolled through chaos with a cake (cake)

We traded arrows for a spatula and called it a day (ha!)
