The song is about the pressure singer/guitarist Jamie Lenman felt to move out of family home and establish himself, whilst many friends had moved away to university or their own houses.
That's right, that's right
I got a band and a woman too
I got a plan and a focused view
And that's cool for twenty one
That's cool for twenty one
That's cool for twenty one
That's cool for twenty one
That's cool for anyone
And I've already stayed for too long
But I will only break your heart when I go
When I go, when I go
Hold tight, hold tight
I'm still just a kid with a heavy load
And rock and roll is a rocky road
But that's cool for twenty one
A long list of goals achieved
And tall tales to tell my son
And that is cool for twenty one
Yeah, that's cool for anyone
But I don't drive and I don't pay no board
And this will only make it hard when I go
When I go, when I go
When I go, when I go
Oh
Oh
So I'm staying home, yeah
'Cause to my neighbours
I'm fucking famous
My mother says she loves me
She tells me I'm not ugly
She thinks the whole world of me
She thinks I'm superman
My mother doesn't understand
Why I'm always angry
I know she don't deserve it
But she's just first in line
I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And I don't respect myself
'Cause I can't respect myself
And yeah, I heard every word you said
Oh
And your ideas, they all make sense but I reject them
Well, how can I hope to earn your respect?
Oh
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
No
