[Hook] We've given up the work to be living all the fun Somebody used to tell me that we only live once When did we grow so young? God damn, when did we grow so young? [Verse 1] The sun hovers above us This summer's been one for lovers This song has been oversung And these longings are overdone But isn't this what we were born for? Some sort of p**noculture where weak are torn like vultures And strong perform mental torture? Admit it, we've all been s**ed in We're stuck in then we literally just say "f** it" The system, I couldn't beat it so you think you'll beat me now? This conversation's boring, I'll slip out of my evening gown The champagne's hit us like a locomotive Let's reveal our ultra motives Babe you're looking so composed And I'd be honored to be slaughtered at the hand of your emotions If your father knew his daughter would be here he'd overdose But everything happens for reasons even if we make em up I might just be mistaken but this feels a little dangerous
And that's the way I like it, when both of us drown in fright And the sun ain't the only one going down tonight [Hook] [Verse 2] And then we wake up and I claim that you the s*ut I'm the Judas of losing what I just told you was love I try to tell you we're just children But you're begging me to reconsider, feel this I just can't sympathize, all of my love is with my eyes And there's a certain someone whose habitat is back in my mind I guess we're all the same, aren't we? We like to play the parts we design to end the starving "I'm sorry!" I say that like it's genuine She hits me across the face and says "Someday we're gonna end you men I could pull the trigger and then you're gone You and all your cohorts would be over, au revoir!" But now she's doing the same thing to every man she meets Get em under the canopy and then leave em panicking Interesting, now we're the victims, yeah, in other words Everyone's right, karma's a b**h, but at least I f**ed her first [Hook]
