Lyrics for 2085
(You work hard for now, just now, just now) (You work hard for now, just now, just now) If somebody told me I'd die at 40 I wouldn't have spent my time in bed Writin' my dumb songs, my growin' up songs I should've just grown up instead (You work hard for now, just now, just now) Now all of the interns are no longer interns How long have I been out of town? 'Cause sometimes I wonder if I had kissed her How different life would be right now I smile when I cry to hide what I felt "I'm doin' fine", speak for yourself I should've just asked for help Hey It's 2085 and we're old as shit What械ver Hey I'd hate to hav械 to die 'fore I get my head together Whatever (You work hard for now, just now, just now) So finish your work now, it's gettin' warm out If you got friends, don't let them leave I turned 20-somethin', it didn't mean nothing 'Cause not one of them were there to see (You work hard for now, just now, just now) And go tell your grandson to go tell his grandson You don't have to try so hard, you know 'Cause I spent my whole life tryna be so liked That only made him hate me more Did I make you proud? Did I screw this up? Sing with me now It's all that I've got To know if I did or not (Okay, okay) Hey It's 2085 and we're old as shit Whatever Hey I'd hate to have to die 'fore I get my head together Together Together Whatever (You work hard for now, just now, just now) Whatever (You work hard for now, just now, just now) Whatever Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You gotta get better, you're all that I've got Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Don't take forever, you're not here for long Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ah-ah-ah-ah You gotta get better, you're all that I've got Ah-ah-ah I wish I was me, whoever that is I could just be and not give a shit Hey, I'll be whatever makes you a fan 'Cause I don't know who the hell I am I think it's too late to figure this out If I could be me, I would've been it by now Maybe I'm a stone, or big as my house It looks like our time is runnin' out So if this is me, then I'll do my best I'll take all the shit, so you'll never have to You can be you, and I'll be the rest Yeah maybe that's who the hell I am Ah-ah-ah-ah ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You gotta get better, you're all that I've got Ah-ah-ah-ah oh-oh-oh-oh Don't take forever, you're not here for long Da-da-da-da da-da-da-da You gotta get better, you're all that I've got Da-da-da-da da-da-da-da But don't take forever, you're not here for long Mm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm I gotta get better, I'm all that I've got Mm-mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm-mm For two or three minutes, then I'm gone
