(Verse 1)
Ahhh!
Such a beautiful day (YEAH!)
The sun’s shining in a beautiful way (WOO!)
Gonna take a shower, brush my teeth and
(LIFE IS ULTIMATELY MEANINGLESS)
Uhh....uhhhhhhhh..
But I’ll get out of the house!
Get on the road, top down, hands out!
Put on my favourite song and nod to the rhythm
(THE PLANET’S BEING DESTROYED BY YOUR CARBON EMISSIONS)
Oh! But I..I
I’ll head to class!
Try my best on every test ‘til I pass
And my grades are screaming in my face
AYYYYYYYYY!!
(98 PERCENT OF WHAT YOU LEARN IS A WASTE)
I get to hang out with all my friends (Yeah!)
My friends are the friendliest friends
Can’t think of a better way to spend my time
(YOUR BRAIN IS FLAWED AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE)
Never mind!
I’m alive in the greatest nation!
So proud of-
(THE EXPLOITATION OF NATIVES)
This graceful bird means freedom for all
(TELL THAT TO THE SLAVES, AND BALD EAGLES AREN’T BALD)
I can live in the moment, milk every second!
(AT ANY TIME YOU COULD GET CLINICAL DEPRESSION)
But I’ll just be happy
No matter what’s in store
(IT’S QUITE GENETIC AND WE HAVE NO CURE)
Uhhh...at least
(Hook)
We are young!
(Not for long)
Life is fun!
(It only goes downhill)
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
(Or you’ll regret it)
We are young!
(For now)
Life is fun!
(For some people)
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
(Good luck)
(Verse 2)
Woo!
I got a brand new job today (YA!)
Doin’ stuff that’ll help the economy
I’ll save money and buy things at stores
(BANKS CAN CRASH AND CAPITALISM IS FLAWED)
And it’s all because of my hard work
(AND THE THOUSAND ADVANTAGES YOU LUCKED INTO AT BIRTH)
I put a lotta effort into my resume!
(GOOD THING YOU DON’T HAVE A BLACK PERSON’S NAME)
I’m proud to be a functioning member of society
Finally, I can be the citizen I dream to be
Part of the community, contribute with my tax
What could possibly stop me?
(THE SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS)
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
At least I’ve got a nice stable job
(TILL IT’S OUTSOURCED TO CHINA OR REPLACED BY A ROBOT)
Oh, God..
Well then I could relax a bit
(YOU’LL BE EMPTY WITH NOTHING TO DISTRACT FROM IT)
But, man, I’m a passionate graduate
I can be different, and I have career paths to choose from
I could be a rapper or an animator if I’m lucky
(NEITHER OF THOSE WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY, TRUST ME)
I’m able to choose what I peruse
(YOU’RE A SLAVE TO PEOPLE BORN RICHER THAN YOU)
Then screw it, I’ll keep going in
Then I’ll party on the weekend and sing
(Lalalalalalalalalala)
(THANKS TO AUTOTUNE)
(Hook)
We are young!
(Not for long)
Life is fun!
(It only goes downhill)
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
(Or you’ll regret it)
We are young!
(We still die)
Life is fun!
(Until you die)
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
(Because you’ll die)
(Verse 3)
Life is a wonder
(YOU’LL NEVER KNOW THE ANSWER)
Nature is a miracle
(NATURAL DISASTERS)
It’s good to be alive
(YOU COULD WAKE UP WITH CANCER)
But I’m healthy!
(Healthy people still get cancer.)
I love this show!
(ITS THE LAST EPISODE)
The sun is shining
(ITS GOING TO EXPLODE)
Every species is beautiful and unique though
(CHILDREN HAVE MALARIA THANKS TO MOSQUITOES)
I met a cute girl with a ponytail
(STATISTICALLY THAT RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO FAIL)
I have a wonderful family, it’s like no other
(YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL AND ONE DAY YOU’LL BURY YOUR MOTHER)
(jeez dude..)
No matter what happens, I can find a home!
(WE. WILL. ALL. DIE. ALONE.)
There’s amazing potential in every human on earth
(THERE’S NO ESCAPING THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE)
I don’t have to live life based on negative parts
No matter how bad they are, they’re just thoughts
(Pre-Hook)
Dave: Yeah, that’s fair
James: Wait really?
Dave: Yeah, That seems reasonable
James: Wait, wait, wait, wait, but you were just telling me—
Dave: Whatever man, I dunno, live your life how you want, I’m not forcing you to do anything, I’m just saying
James: Oh..well in that case—
(Hook)
We are young!
Life is fun!
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
We are young!
Life is fun!
We gotta make the most of it, make the most of it
(Enjoy it while it lasts)
