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 raised 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.
