We used to be so happy-go-lucky Now all we care about is our looks and our money My parents said you'll grow up just like me But why can't we be kids, all happy-go-lucky? Saturday mornings watching cartoons in bed Now I wake up to feeling anxious instead All of this weight on my shoulders Must mean that I'm getting older, yeah I'd go outside, if I could get out of my head Can't keep up with the fantasy We overdose on vanity What we wanted to change, changed us We used to be so happy-go-lucky Now all we care about is our looks and our money My parents said you'll grow up just like me But why can't we be kids, all happy-go-lucky? (La-la-la-la-la, oh-oh) We can't buy -, we throw our cash-out on rent We can't afford it, but we love to pretend All of this weight on our shoulders It should be bringing us closer But when did a follower mean more than a friend? We overdose on vanity Oh, God, this life is killing me We used to be so happy-go-lucky Now all we care about is our looks and our money My parents said you'll grow up just like me But why can't we be kids, all happy-go-lucky Eh-eh, la-la-la-la-la, ay-oh La-la-la-la-la, ay-oh, ay-ay La-la-la-la-la, ay-oh, ay-ay
