Watsky (george Watsky) - Hey, Asshole lyrics

[Chorus:] Hey, a**hole See the sun is shining But you are not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why I'm an a**hole Cause the sun is shining But I am not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why I know I'm often told That there's a pot of gold But I don't see no f**ing rainbow and my coffee's cold I know I should be grateful I know I'm good and able But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table This kind of shot comes once Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away And that's the fifth this month but when you take a punch Don't you ever forget Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next Got the power of my will I don't wanna win a mil But I'm looking at window sill Gotta take a bitter pill Gonna pay for what I did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill Got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself I developed A habit of knocking out my front tooth Looking uncouth Want to hear the truth Give it to me straight 151 proof Telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy But I'm climbing up a ladder that has got no end Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend All I want to do is buck this trend Everybody need a buck to spend And I'll be working on myself, til I work on someone else Til I get there Ima just pretend I know I'm often told That there's a pot of gold But I don't see a f**ing rainbow and my coffee's cold I know I should be grateful I know I'm good and able But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table This kind of shot comes once Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away And that's the fifth this month but when you take a punch Don't you ever forget Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next [Chorus:] Hey, a**hole See the sun is shining But you are not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why I'm an a**hole Cause the sun is shining But I am not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why When I'm in a crisis In a moment of silence I look under my eyelids And I'm checking my mileage I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style it's So I can reach in and pimpslap my reflection for acting childish Spent a half an hour sitting at the bottom of my shower Lettin the water run over my body and dammit I wanted to get up But I didn't have the power I don't have the answers anyway yay (yay yay yay) Don't want to panic but I gotta come clean because the plan of the planet is just mean Knew if was tough, but dammit it's obscene I've been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit And I'ma rough it if I have enough steam I'll keep on coming and coming until I'm coming with the stamina of a salmon Who's heading upstream (nah nah nah nah nah) [Chorus (x2):] Hey, a**hole See the sun is shining But you are not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why I'm an a**hole Cause the sun is shining But I am not smiling And I don't know why And I don't know why And I don't know why
