lyrics

So what did you do this year?
Did you find a job yet, a girlfriend
Or when you're getting married?
I don't care about the things you did at my age
Because I don't get the luxury
Of working 2 days a week for fucking minimum wage
To still pay for university
And a car and a house at the same damn time
Hasn't been possible since '99
No wonder your grandparents think nobody here wants to try

So while you're screaming Happy New Year
I'm screaming thank god this year is over
Pour champagne in a glass that I'll drink through the mask
That I use to hide everything behind
Listen to bullshit resolutions like
You're gonna go the gym and give more compliments
I start every New Year hungover
Wake up singing thank god this year is over

And when are you having a kid?
Or How 'bout I recommend?
How about you stop asking me questions
About things I can't afford to think about?
Please don't let one more word leave your mouth
I get it, I get it, I know just wanna help me
Forget it, don't want advice from 1973
Are you so disconnected you can't see
The way you grew up is so far out of reach
That you might as well be talking to me from another planet

So while you're screaming Happy New Year
I'm screaming thank god this year is over
Pour champagne in a glass that I'll drink through the mask
That I use to hide everything behind
Listen to bullshit resolutions like
You're gonna go the gym and give more compliments
I start every New Year hungover
Wake up singing thank god this year is over

Thank god this year is over
Used to hide everything behind
Go to the gym and give more compliments
Thank god this year is over

This is a modern way to say why bother anyway?
You can pretend that you gave us a chance to try
We'll never forgive you for the world that you left behind

This is a modern way to say why bother anyway?
You can pretend that you gave us a chance to try
We'll never forgive you for the world that you left behind

So while you're screaming Happy New Year
I'm screaming thank god this year is over
Pour champagne in a glass that I'll drink through the mask
That I use to hide everything behind
Listen to bullshit resolutions like
You're gonna go the gym and give more compliments
I start every New Year hungover
Wake up singing thank god this year is over

So while you're screaming Happy New Year
(This is a modern way)
I'm screaming thank god this year is over
(To say why bother anyway?)
Pour champagne in a glass that I'll drink through the mask
(You can pretend that you gave us a chance to try)
That I use to hide everything behind
(We'll never forgive you for the world that you left behind)
Listen to bullshit resolutions like
(This is a modern way)
You're gonna go the gym, and give more compliments
(To say why bother anyway?)
I start every New Year hungover
(You can pretend that you gave us a chance to try)
Wake up singing thank god this year is over
(We'll never forgive you for the world that you left behind)
