The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 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 (drownin' me out)

The DJ is cryin' for help (drownin' 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 (drownin' 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' till the party starts

Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

And now I'm all alone

Waitin' till the party starts
