Lyrics
Try to see your parents more cuz they’re so weak and old now /
But they just can’t let you live without always being told how /
Then spend time with your child, be responsible and silent/
But you lose it, then you know that you’re a monster and a tyrant /
It’s family so you call because you’re too grown up to fume/
But somehow you’ve hung up and thrown the phone across the room/
Cuz you’re a weakling and a loser, you just never get it right, /
Down from the way you that were raise to how your own home is tonight /
These are the ones you love the best / So why’s it always such a mess /
And what the hell’s it for / Since you’re rotten to the core /
Well, it’s fun / it’s just fun/
Pick out someone friendly who romantically excites you/
Start the hopeful dreaming of “what if he or she likes you” /
know that you could love them and build up a blissful fantasy /
That this is finally something, and how good your lives would be/
But then feel wretched when it’s clear/ It’s just your far-fetched dumb idea /
Remember that you’re lame and ugly / Groan and cry why would they love me/
Why even try to cope /And why even have hope /
you’re disgusting that’s for sure /So what’s hoping for/
Well it’s fun / it’s just fun /
Know your only joy would be a life of creativity /
So never have a moment when you’re actually at liberty/
live a life where friends or relaxation leaves you irking, /
cuz it’s wasting time with nonsense when you know you should be working /
First see your glowing promise as an actor or a painter/
Then get honest you’re a hack who knows their glow is getting fainter /
Then know your life’s been total dirt ,and wish you could begin again /
Then crumple one more worthless work and toss it in the bin again/
You hung your head against the desk and suffered in the agony/
Of coming face to face against that stuff that you can never be /
it’s lame and infantile / All this stupid, useless trial /
Frustrations and impatience/ and complete humiliations /
You’re just not fortunate, that’s certain / So why this tortured, screaming burden?/
well it’s fun / it’s just fun/ it’s just fun.
