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
And I hear the birds, they keep on singing all around 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 we all agree here for a second
That a kid looking for shelter should be safe and not feel dreaded?
All these things you choose to hate, well, I'm afraid they're not to blame for your shit life
'Cause 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, no one's tryna ruin your life
You don't need to pick sides
Guess what? The world, she keeps on spinning, just not around you
And I hear the birds, they keep on singing all around 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
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
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
