Living the Dream (Get Up)
Because they tell you in your mind and your body
When you're feeling kinda shoddy get up
Social media's a place
Where you gotta show your face so get up get up
But I've been slacking off
I should post with some avocado toast and
Everybody fits into a paradigm so can I
Surprise it will never be enough I get up
Hurry up get up get up
And never let them know
Don't let your weakness show
Hey I just wanna be seen
Can we just pause look at my flaws
Put 'em on display because
It comes apart at the seams
Every time I try to fake it if I try to make
You think I'm perfect and living the dream
But you're what you are
So do what you want
That's living the dream
And you got people in your ear
When you're planning your career get up
They tell you hustle down the aisle
Like Usain Bolt on the mile get up
But I'm a simple guy
Pay my taxes eat my vitamins
Every day I chip away at the plight I'm in
All these expectations so focused
Can I notice I don't wanna get up?
And never let them know
Don't let your weakness show
Hey I just wanna be seen
Can we just pause look at my flaws
Put 'em on display because
It comes apart at the seams
Every time I try to fake it if I try to make
You think I'm perfect yeah living the dream
But you're what you are
So do what you want
That's living the dream
I'm gonna think of what I wanna be
And take it off the shelf
Prove nothing else to anybody
Prove it to myself yeah
Think of what I wanna be
And take it off the shelf
And don't prove it to anybody else
Where you wanna go?
What you wanna do?
Telling you my
Voice gets drowned out by the monotone noises
Then I'll make a choice grab a microphone plug it in
Turn it to eleven and then sing this song again and
Get up don't give up don't give up
Don't we all just wanna be seen?
Can we just pause look at my flaws
Put 'em on display because
It comes apart at the seams
Every time I try to fake it if I try to make
You think I'm perfect yeah living the dream
But you're what you are
So do what you want
You're what you are do what you want
You're what you are do what you want
That's living the dream
That's living the dream
That's living the dream
When you're feeling kinda shoddy get up
Social media's a place
Where you gotta show your face so get up get up
But I've been slacking off
I should post with some avocado toast and
Everybody fits into a paradigm so can I
Surprise it will never be enough I get up
Hurry up get up get up
And never let them know
Don't let your weakness show
Hey I just wanna be seen
Can we just pause look at my flaws
Put 'em on display because
It comes apart at the seams
Every time I try to fake it if I try to make
You think I'm perfect and living the dream
But you're what you are
So do what you want

And you got people in your ear
When you're planning your career get up

That's living the dream
That's living the dream
