Sit down and shut up for a second
‘Cause you’re confusing your freedom with a cold case of oppression
‘Cause your neighbour’s painted nails
Are not the reason for your shit life
Sit down and shut up for a second
I know we’re reading the same hymn sheet, but you’re taking the wrong lesson
If your barista’s purple hair is the reason that you’re stressing, you should think twice
Guess what, the world, she keeps on spinning, just not around you
But I hear the birds, they keep on singing all about you
And they go la la la
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
What you get is what you give
They go la la la
Life is short, don’t be a dick
Son, this ain’t no way to live
Son, this ain’t no way to live
Can’t we just all agree here for a second
That a kid looking for shelter should be safe and not feel threatened
All these things you choose to hate
Well, I’m afraid they’re not to blame for your shit life
Well, you can love just who you love
And you can think just what you think
And if you open up your heart
You’ll realise this simple thing
That we’re all just getting by
And no one’s trying to ruin your life
You don’t need to pick sides
Guess what, the world, she keeps on spinning, just not around you
But I hear the birds, they keep on singing all about you
And they go la la la
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
What you get is what you give
They go la la la
Life is short, don’t be a dick
Son, this ain’t no way to live
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
What you get is what you give
They go la la la
Life is short, don’t be a dick
Son, this ain’t no way to live
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
Son, this ain’t no way to live
They go la la la
Son, this ain’t no way to live
