Everyone's laughin' at me
But not like they used to
The room's spinnin' all around me
But not like I'm used to
Hired, hired
Can I get hired?
I got no skills except gettin' high
I'm tryin', tryin'
I can start Friday
You've wasted your life but thanks for applying
Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell
I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
Now I don't know what to do with myself (Da da da da da da da)
You got older 'cause you're good at life
I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
Now I don't know if there's anything else
The DJ is cryin' for help (Oh-oh-oh)
The DJ is cryin' for help (Oh-oh-oh)
Don't know what to do with myself
Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell
I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
Now I don't know what to do with myself
The DJ is crying for help
Everyone's trippin' on pills
But now they're prescribed too
And everyone's stackin' their bills
But not 'cause they like to
Oh, hired, hired
Can I get hired?
Yeah, I fucked up, but I did it my way
Tryin', tryin'
I could start Friday
Gettin' a life's a little like dyin'
Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell
I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
Now I don't know what to do with myself (Da da da da da da da)
You got older 'cause you're good at life
I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
Now I don't know if there's anything else
The DJ is cryin' for help (Don't leave me out)
The DJ is cryin' for help (Don't leave me out)
Don't know what to do with myself
Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell
I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
Now I don't know what to do with myself
The DJ is cryin' for help
You got older 'cause you're good at life (Don't leave me out)
I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
Now I don't know if there's anything else
The DJ is crying for help
And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (Alone)
Waitin' for the beat to drop
Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out
And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (Alone)
Waitin' 'til the party starts
Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out
And now I'm all alone
Waitin' 'til the party starts
The lyric "Getting a life's a little like dyin'" is featured on the back cover of The Maybe Man's vinyl, on a sign Adam is holding.
This single's cover is directly based off this teaser for TMM (or perhaps vice versa).
This teaser for the song contains an audio clip that isn't actually in the full song, which omits half of the pre-chorus and a quarter of the main chorus, as well as lacking some backing effects during the lyric "Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell".
