All I want to do
Every single day
After I get home from work
Is eat take-away
The hippies say it’s bad for me
Yeah they say Namaste
But I’m gonna lie in bed and
Drink cider all day

'Cos bad habits die old
You don’t have to wait for your life to unfold
You don’t have to emerge, you don’t have to guess
It’s the same shit each year
But you care slightly less

It’s in the lovers that you chase
In your alcohol intake
In the things you cannot say
In the times you walked away
In the people that you hate
In your tiny vocal range
In melodrama, chaos and
The infections that you gained

And every single time you have failed to refrain
From doing something dumb and repeating to excess
It’s the same shit each year
But you care slightly less

Lying in your underwear
Listening to Joy Division
Sixteen years stuck
In the same position
Life doesn’t have to be some
Self-improvement mission
There’s no shame in being fucked up
Ignore positive thinking

'Cos they will try to cure you because they don’t like mess
Make you bow down to this world and don’t let you express
What did I learn from my times of distress?
It’s the same shit each year
But you care slightly less

And bad habits die old
You don’t have to wait for your life to unfold
You don’t have to strive to constantly be whole
You don’t have to become enlightened
You don’t have to be OK in the end
You don’t have to believe in love
You don’t have to transcend
You don’t have to emerge from anything at all
You don’t have to learn to sing
You don’t have to have it all
You don’t have to emerge
You don’t have to guess
It’s the same shit each year
But you care slightly less
Yes you care slightly less
Yes you care slightly less oh
The same shit each year
But you care slightly less oh!
