Song Lyrics

Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out
I`ll join `em talking `bout the people everybody talk about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout

Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down

We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light
Now it`s the 48th hour of a two-day night
And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight

Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down

A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none
Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young?
The show isn`t over, but I`m long since gone
I feel like I let them down when I don`t wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night

But everybody`s pretending the sun won`t ever come out
I`ll join `em talking `bout whatever everybody talks about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout

Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
Pickin` it up but then I put it back down
