Hey, uh, are we rolling? Yeah, okay; no it’s, that’s fine I read a fun fact about the brain and How it starts to deteriorate when We get to 27 or thereabouts (Yeah) It got me thinking about my head And what I can do to help stimulate it Makes me sad, but I’ve forgotten what I’m on about (Ah!) Looked on the bright side, got keratitis And you can’t sit there unless you’re righteous I wear a happy face like I’m Ed Gein I feel all numb now, is that a feeling? Like a plastic boxed orange with no peel on I wanna waste, I wanna waste, I wanna waste away (Yeah!) ‘Lone, getting high on a Saturday night I’m on the edge of a knife Nobody cares if I’m dead or alive Oh, what a wonderful life Oi, Debbie Downer, what’s your problem? Don’t wanna be here, still call a shotgun You got the FOMO coursing through my veins (Yo, yay, yo, yay) This is not a drill, no, this is the real world Domesticated, still a little feral Well, don’t you know to chew with your mouth closed? (And it’s all gone wrong!) ‘Lone, getting high on a Saturday night I’m on the edge of a knife (Yeah!) Nobody cares if I’m dead or alive Oh, what a wonderful life (Oh, what a wonderful life) (Oh, what a wonderful life) Alright I got a Type 2 kinda thirstiness A far-out otherworldliness And one day this might hurt me less But everybody knows I’m still down Don’t tell me what the butcher does There’s no need for the obvious So ugly, still, it’s kinda lush But everybody knows I made vows Left feet on the podium Can’t think of an alternate And hell yeah, I’m the awkwardest But everybody knows I got bounce (Yeah!) ‘Lone, getting high on a Saturday night I’m on the edge of a knife Nobody cares if I’m dead or alive Oh, what a wonderful life Oh, what a wonderful life Oh, what a wonderful life Nobody cares if I’m dead or alive Oh, what a wonderful life
