The DJ Is Crying For Help Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
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
[Chorus: Jack Met]
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
[Post-Chorus: Jack Met, Marten Lieberman, Andy Sobelson, Alba Avoricani, Cat Capps, Rob Piccione, Ariel Gandler, Ezra Donellan, Dane Hagen & Chris Berry]
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
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
Everyone's trippin' on pills
But now they're prescribed too
And everyone's stackin' their bills
But not 'cause they like to
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
Oh, hired, hired, can I get hired?
Yeah, I fucked up, but I did it my way
I'm tryin', tryin', I can start Friday
Gettin' a life's a little like dyin'
[Chorus: Jack Met]
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
[Post-Chorus: Jack Met, Marten Lieberman, Andy Sobelson, Alba Avoricani, Cat Capps, Rob Piccione, Ariel Gandler, Ezra Donellan, Dane Hagen & Chris Berry, All]
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
[Bridge: Jack Met]
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
[Outro: Jack Met]
And now I'm all alone
Waitin' 'til the party starts
