[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]
