[Verse 1]
I do remember learning
It came and went real fast
But I'm wasted now on confidence
I'm busy, I'm hesitant to spend my precious time in class

[Verse 2]
I run a hamster wheel called Gamut
Wonder what my old friends think
They are swimming in the koi pond
At the mall and yelling through the glass
"You are an opportunist dick"

[Refrain]
I'm alive and I'm on fire
I'll have a cider
I will speak for my generation
Famous by association
I'm 21, I'm 21

[Verse 3]
I weigh a hundred and fucking something pounds
That makes me almost good
It is nice to be a hero
But it's better to be anything that anyone could want in a woman
[Verse 4]
My Sittoo's watching me and laughing
Slumly, you're a grown-up now
And you don't have to be an ingénue
And there is nothing wrong with you
As long as you make your family proud

[Refrain]
You're alive and you're on fire
Why are you so tired?
You're 21, you're 21
Can you believe it, huh?
You're 21

[Outro]
Salt of the earth, vinegar, piss
Pillar to post insisting this
Man, I can be here and not of it
I'm 21
