[Verse 1]
The AM has never sat right with me
I'm playin' catch up 'til 12:30
And it's a fish bowl, tryin' to get a say
A thick glass or a mental cage

[Chorus]
I need a hard hat to take in
I need a hard hat to help break in

[Verse 2]
A roller coaster but it ain't Six Flags
We thought we'd always have it in the bag
Turns out, the plastic wasn't strong enough
Turns out, nothing was

[Chorus]
I need a hard hat to take in
I need a hard hat to help break in

[Bridge]
This pie chart isn't in our favor
I need a hard hat
Did you get your time to savor?
Or did it run fast?
You can't be my next-door neighbor
This ain't the suburbs
You treated me the worst
[Chorus]
And now I need a hard hat to take in
I need a hard hat to help break in
