AJR - "The DJ Is Crying For Help" - Song Lyrics

"The DJ Is Crying For Help"

Everyone's laughing at me

But not like they used to

The room's spinnin' all around me

But not like I'm used to

Hired, hired, can I get hired

I got no skills except gettin' high

I'm tryin', tryin', I can start Friday

You've wasted your life but thanks for applying

Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell

Now I don't know what to do with myself

You got older 'cause you good at life

I'm all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don't know if there's anything else

The DJ is crying for help

The DJ is crying for help

Don't know what to do with myself

Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell

Now I don't know what to do with myself

The DJ is crying for help

Everyone's trippin' on pills

But now they're prescribed too

And everyone's stackin' their bills

But not 'cause they like to

Oh, hired, hired, can I get hired

Yeah, I fucked up, but I did it my way

Tryin', tryin', I can start Friday

Gettin' a life is a little like dyin'

Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell

Now I don't know what to do with myself

You got older 'cause you're good at life

I'm all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don't know if there's anything else

The DJ is crying for help

Don't leave me out

The DJ is crying for help

Don't leave me out

Don't know what to do with myself

Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I'm all grown up, but you couldn't tell

Now I don't know what to do with myself

The DJ is crying for help

You got older 'cause you good at life (Drownin' me out)

I'm all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don't know if there's anything else

The DJ is crying for help

And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (Alone)

Waitin' for the beat to drop

Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

And now I'm all (I'm all) alone (Alone)

Waitin' 'til the party starts

Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

And now I'm all alone

Waitin' 'til the party starts
