"Maybe When We're 30" lyrics

"Maybe When We're 30"

Your brother said that we should get real jobs
And pay our way like everybody else

Well, maybe we could buy a house and we could have a kid
Spend our days on Facebook, such happy days on Facebook
We'll share Daily Mail stories about David Beckham's kids
With pithy little insults, such pissy little insults
If it's what you need
Well it works for me

We'll write bitter little letters to the council 'bout the bins
And sign them from the neighbors, you'll sign them from the neighbours
And when they come a knocking, I'll pretend that you're not in
I've never liked the neighbours, you know I've never liked the neighbours
And they don't like me, and they don't like me

Maybe when we're thirty, baby, we can get a dog
And once a year, we'll go out and we'll watch the War On Drugs
Maybe when we're thirty, baby, we can get a dog
And once a year, we'll go out and we'll watch the War On Drugs

If it's what you need
Well it works for me

Baby, when we're seventy, and the rain gets to our legs
I'll whisk you off on cruises, I'll take you off on cruises
And read the Daily Telegraph and sleep in separate beds
And not make the excuses, and not make the excuses
If it's what you need
Well it works for me

If we make it to our eighties, we can lie out in the nude
And we can take up smoking, and we can take up smoking
And look through the obituaries for people that were rude
And laugh until we're choking, and laugh until we're choking
If it's what you need
Well it works for me

Maybe when we're thirty, baby, we can get a dog
And once a year, we'll go out and we'll watch the War On Drugs
Maybe when we're thirty, baby, we can get a dog
And once a year, we'll go out and we'll watch the War On Drugs
Maybe when we're thirty, baby, we can get a dog
And once a year, we'll go out and we'll watch the War On Drugs
Maybe when we're thirty, baby, maybe when we're thirty, baby
Maybe when we're thirty, baby, maybe when we're thirty, baby
