Hey, Asshole (feat. Kate Nash)

Hey, asshole

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 asshole

'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 fucking 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 the 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 the habit of

Knocking off my front tooth

Looking uncouth, want the 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

Till I work on someone else

Till I get there, I'ma just pretend

I know I'm often told

That there's a pot of gold

But I don't see no fucking 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

Hey, asshole

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 asshole

'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 milage

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

Letting 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, yay, yay, yay, yay

Don't want to panic but I got to come clean

Because the plan of the planet is just mean

Knew it was tough, but dammit is obscene

I 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

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Hey, asshole

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 asshole

'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
