Try to see your parents more 'cause they're so weak and old now
But they just can't let you live without always being told how
And 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
'Cause you're a weakling and a loser, you just never get it right
Down from the way that you 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 thats for sure
So what's hoping for?
Well, its 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
'Cause 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 is 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
