"21" lyrics

"21"

I do remember learning
It came and went real fast
But I'm wasted now on confidence
I'm busy, I'm hesitant to spend my precious time in class

I run a hamster wheel called Gamut
Wonder what my old friends think
They are swimming in the koi pond
At the mall and yelling through the glass
"You are an opportunist dick"

I'm alive and I'm on fire
I'll have a cider
I will speak for my generation
Famous by association
I'm 21, I'm 21

I weigh a hundred and fucking something pounds
That makes me almost good
It is nice to be a hero
But it's better to be anything that anyone could want in a woman

My Sittoo's watching me and laughing
Slumly, you're a grown-up now
And you don't have to be an ingénue
And there is nothing wrong with you
As long as you make your family proud

You're alive and you're on fire
Why are you so tired?
You're 21, you're 21
Can you believe it, huh?
You're 21

Salt of the earth, vinegar, piss
Pillar to post insisting this
Man, I can be here and not of it
I'm 21
