Don't you think it's kind of funny how you only call me up When you're looking for a party, and say you just maybe might show up I know it's tough to find a buddy and that it's hard to find a friend And that it sucks to be a loser when you're doing shots of Jager again But I know it's hard with all that self-critique For waking up in someone's sheets At twelve o'clock three days a week 'Cause you say that you're an artist but you just smoke pot You say that you'll explain and they you say that you forgot You tell her you're a lover then you tell me that you're not You ain't got no fire, so tell me why you think that you're hot Do me a favor and don't touch me, because it kinda creeps me out I think you might be hiding something that you don't wanna tell your parents about You say you're gonna play the piano and that you wanna learn the blues And that you're gonna read the bible to help expand your cultural views But I know that it's so hard to find the time Out getting laid and drinking wine Like culture now is such a crime 'Cause you say that you're an artist but you just smoke pot You say that you'll explain and they you say that you forgot You tell her you're a lover then you tell me that you're not You ain't got no fire, so tell me why you think that you're hot Collared shirt punk rock revolution Stoner culture wealth redistribution College kid class system revolution What's your excuse for that? Collared shirt punk rock revolution Stoner culture wealth redistribution College kid class system revolution What's your excuse for that? What's your excuse for that? 'Cause you say that you're an artist but you just smoke pot You say that you'll explain and they you say that you forgot You tell her you're a lover then you tell me that you're not You ain't got no fire, you ain't got no fire, you ain't got no fire So tell me why you think that you're hot

You did it all on your own, that much anyone can see And all you had was your backpack, bag, and college degree Nobody said it'd be easy, t took a whole lot of work But being young, fun and beautiful couldn't have hurt Though you don't pay for your phone, there's still lots of things you do Like drinking endless mimosas on a Sunday afternoon And you deserve all the credit for everything that you've earned But being young, fun and beautiful couldn't have hurt One day you'll move out of the city and have a yard with grass And I pray you don't feel shitty for falling down From upper middle class to lower upper middle class You did it all on your own, and thats no tiny feat 'Cause all you had was your laptop bag and university Nobody said it'd be easy, it took a whole lot of work But being young, fun and beautiful Young, fun and beautiful Young, fun and beautiful Couldn't have hurt
