George Watsky - Hey Asshole lyrics

Chorus

Hey asshole

See the sun is shining

But you are not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why and I don't know

I'm an asshole,

Cause the sun is shining

But I am not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why and I don't know

Hook

I know I'm often told

That there's a pot of gold

But I don't see no fucking rainbow and my coffees cold

I know I should be grateful

I know I'm good and able,

But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table

This kind of shot comes once

Another opportunity of a life time has slipped away

And that's the fifth this month

But when you take a punch

Don't you ever forget

Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next!

Verse 1

Got the power of my will

I don't needa win a mill

But I'm looking at my window sill

Gotta take a better pill

Gonna pay for what it did to my head and my heart'll foot the bill

Got a foot in my mouth and because I'm kicking myself and I developed

A habit of knocking out my front tooth

Looking uncouth

Want to hear the truth

Give it to me straight 151 proof

Telling myself it'll happen when I'm happy

But I'm climbing up a ladder that has got no end

Hung up on a rung

I'll never make it to the top

Looking at the bottom

But I must descend

All I want to do is buck tis trend

Everybody needs a buck to spend

And I'll be working on myself till I work on someone else

Till I get there ima just pretend

Hook

Chorus

Verse 2

When I'm in a crisis

In a moment of silence

I look under my eyelids

And I'm checking my mileage

I've been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style

It's so I can reach in and pimpslap my reflection for acting childish

Spent a half an hour

Sitting at the bottom of my shower

Letting the water run over my body and (dammit I wanted to get up)

But I didn't have the power

I don't have the answers anyway yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay

Don't want to panic but I got to come clean

Because the plan of the planet is just mean

Knew if it was tough, but dammit it's obscene

I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit and ima

Rough it if I have enough steam

I'll keep on coming until I'm coming with the stamina of

A salmon who's heading upstream

Nah nah nah nah nah
