YOLO |
The battle cry of a generation. |
This life is a precious gift. |
So don’t get too crazy, |
It’s not worth the risk. |
Chorus |
Adam Levine: |
You know that we are still young. |
So don’t be dumb. |
Don’t trust anyone, |
Cause you only live once. |
Verse 1 |
Kiv: Ugh, you only live once, |
That’s the motto. |
So take a chill pill, |
Ease off the throttle. |
Jorm: Never go to loud clubs |
Cause it’s bad for your ears. |
Your friends will all be sorry |
When they can’t hear. |
Andy: And stay the hell away from drugs |
Cause they’re not legal. |
Then bury all your money in the backyard |
Like a beagle. |
Kiv: Cause you should never trust a bank |
They’ve been known to fail. |
And never travel by car, a bus, |
Boat or by rail. |
Jorm: And don’t travel by plane. |
And don’t travel at all. |
Built a bomb shelter basement |
With titanium walls. |
Andy: And where titanium suits |
In case pianos fall on ya. |
And never go in saunas |
Cause they’re crawlin' with piranhas. |
Kiv: And never take the stairs |
Cause they’re oftenl unsafe. |
You only live once, |
Don’t let it go to waste. |
CHORUS |
Adam Levine: |
You know that we are still young, |
So hold off on the fun. |
Cook your meat 'til it’s done, |
Cause you only live once. |
Verse 2 |
Jorm: Yeah, |
And here’s another piece of advice: |
Stay away from kids |
Cause their hair is filled with mad lice. |
Andy: There’s no such thing |
As too much Purell. |
This a cautionary tale, |
Word to George Orwell. |
Kiv: So don’t 1980 force |
Any plugs into sockets. |
Always wear a chastity belt |
And triple lock it. |
Jorm: Then hire a taster |
Make him check your food for poison. |
And if you think your mailman is a spy |
Then destroy him. |
Andy: No blankets or pajamas |
They can kill you in your sleep. |
Two words about furniture: |
Killing machines. |
Kiv: Board your windows up The sun is bad for your health. |
And always wear a straight jacket |
So your safe from yourself. |
Kendrick Lamar: |
Take no chances (no chances) |
Stop freelancin' (right now) |
Invest in your future, |
Don’t dilute your finances (uh huh) |
401K, make sure it’s low risk |
Then get some real estate (how much?) |
4.2%Thirty year mortgage, |
That’s important, that’s a great deal |
And if you can’t afford it, |
Don’t forge it on your last bill |
Renting is for suckers right now |
A dependable savings, |
And you’ll retire with money in your account. |
Beast. |
All: |
YOLO, say no no. |
Isolate yourself |
And just roll solo |
Be care-folo |
You oughta look out |
Also stands for YOLO. |
Chorus |
Adam Levine: |
You know that we are still young. |
Burn the prints off your thumbs. |
Then pull out all your teeth, |
So you can’t bite your tongue. |
Only on this earth for a short time, time |
So don’t go outside, cause you don’t want to die, die. |
Just take our advice and hide |
And scream YOLO to the sky. |
Andy: You oughta look out |
