  • Everyone's laughin' at me
    But not like they used to
    The room's spinnin' all around me
    But not like I'm used to

    Hired, hired, can I get hired?
    I got no skills except gettin' high
    I'm tryin', tryin', I can start Friday
    You've wasted your life, but thanks for applying

    Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell
    I'm all grown up but you couldn't tell
    Now I don't know what to do with myself
    (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
    You got older 'cause you're good at life
    I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
    Now I don't know if there's anything else

    The DJ is cryin' for help
    The DJ is cryin' for help
    Don't know what to do with myself

    Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell
    I'm all grown up but you couldn't tell
    Now I don't know what to do with myself
    The DJ is cryin' for help

    Everyone's trippin' on pills
    But now they're prescribed to
    And everyone's stackin' their bills
    But not 'cause they like to

    Oh, hired, hired, can I get hired?
    Yeah, I fucked up, but I did it my way
    Tryin', tryin', I can start Friday
    Gettin' a life's a little like dyin'

    Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell
    I'm all grown up but you couldn't tell
    Now I don't know what to do with myself
    (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
    You got older 'cause you're good at life
    I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
    Now I don't know if there's anything else

    The DJ is cryin' for help
    Don't leave me out
    The DJ is cryin' for help
    Don't leave me out
    Don't know what to do with myself

    Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell
    I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell
    Now I don't know what to do with myself
    The DJ is cryin' for help
    You got older 'cause you're good at life (don't leave me out)
    I'm all seventeen at thirty-five
    Now I don't know if there's anything else
    The DJ is cryin' for help

    And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (alone)
    Waitin' for the beat to drop
    Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out
    And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (alone)
    Waitin' 'til the party starts
    Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

    And now I'm all alone
    Waitin' 'til the party starts Writer/s: Adam Brett Metzger, Jack Evan Metzger, Ryan Metzger
