[VERSE 1]
Just a young wannabe that wants to be inspired
I know I'm up against the odds but honestly it's fine
All these kids who want to be a God
Rocking it Divine
All these kids who want to see it stop
Problems in their life
That never knock when they arrive
But it's like that, huh?
So when they knock you right down, you get right back up
Adult life is restricted, but a kid's life isn't
Cos when alcohol's prohibited we sip like sinners
No attention to the clock as it ticks by
Minutes at a time, 6-5-4-3-2 switch off all the lights
We want to be amazing, want to be a stand-out
Want to be spontaneous, surrender your plans now
Just see how it pans out, the greatest performance
We make the same mistakes as teenagers before us
We're warned to be cautious but we're young and we're dumb so
We chose to ignore it, the chorus goes...
[BRIDGE]
And if there was one song
Our whole generation would sing it right now
It would sound like
Regret and potential
Together you can bet that we would sing it so loud
We would sing it so loud now
Sing it so the world can hear us
Sing it so loud now
Sing it so the world can hear
So the world can hear
[HOOK]
Sing until our time is up
We're gonna sing until our time is up
X4
[VERSE 2]
So this is for every vague memory of the night before
Every "just one more" and cannabis inspired thought
It's for every time we staggered to the rise of dawn
Raise your drink up, it's happiness we're fighting for
Life's a ma**ive ride, we live and we love it
Even though we wake up head spinning, sick to the stomach
We want a six figure salary income
To fill the memory bank full of sh** that we did once
I see a bunch of motherf**ers on the edge of their youth
Susceptible to substances that will get them seduced
Up on a pedestal, they're getting so high
But there's a heavy landing when they fall
Man it's no surprise and yet it's so incredible
That we feel alive like Jesus on his third day
Life's so dry so we drink because we're thirsty
Now we're in first place
Playing all these games
Until the cards are stuck together like work mates
[BRIDGE]
[HOOK]
[VERSE 3]
Misguided by the thought that affection will fix us
We become another for acceptance and thin love
Love that is thinner than the latex
Images on p**n flicks don't depict safe s**
So let's go and make love motivated by the vodka shot
Heart ain't on the sleeve so you're not naked when your top is off
f**ing with your ex she'll let you know when you're on the spot
Heated in the moment, second guess it when that 'what if' drops
