YOLO Lyrics

(Intro)
YOLO
YOLO
You only live once
The battle cry of a generation
This life is a precious gift
So don’t get too crazy, it’s not worth the risk

(Interlude)
You know that we are still young
So don’t be dumb
Don’t trust anyone
‘Cause you only live once

(Verse)
Uh
You only live once, that’s the motto
So take a chill pill, ease off the throttle
Never go to loud clubs ‘cause it’s bad for your ears
Your friends will all be sorry when they can’t hear
And stay the hell away from drugs ‘cause they’re not legal
Then bury all your money in the backyard like a beagle
You should never trust a bank, they’ve been known to fail
And never travel by car or bus, boat or by rail
And don’t travel by plane and don’t travel at all
Build a bomb shelter basement with titanium walls
And wear titanium suits in case pianos fall on ya
And never go in saunas ‘cause they’re crawling with piranhas
And never take the stairs ‘cause they’re often unsafe
You only live once, don’t let it go to waste

(Interlude)
You know that we are still young
So hold off from the fun
Cook your meat til it’s done
‘Cause you only live once

(Verse)
Yea, and here’s another piece of advice
Stay away from kids ‘cause their hair is filled with mad rice
There’s no such thing as too much purell
This a cautionary tale, word to George Orwell
So go 1984, send these plugs into sockets
Always wear a chastity belt and triple lock it
Then hire a taster, make him check your food for poison
And if you think your mailman is a spy then destroy him
No blankets or pajamas, they could choke you in your sleep
Two words about furniture: KILLING MACHINES
Board your windows up, the sun is bad for your health
And always wear a straight jacket so you’re safe from yourself

(Verse)
Aha
Take no chances (no chances)
Start freelancing (right now)
Invest in your future, don’t dilute your finances
401k, make sure it’s no risk
The get some real-estate (how much?)
4.2%
30 year mortgage
That’s important, that’s a great deal
And if you can’t afford it, don’t forge it on your last bill
Renting is for suckers right now
A dependable savings and you’re retired with money in your account (??)

(Chorus)
YOLO
Say no no
Isolate yourself
And just roll solo, be careful-o
You oughta look out also stands for YOLO

(Interlude)
You know that we are still young
Burn the prints of your thumbs
And pull out all your teeth
So you can’t fight your tongue

(Verse)
Only by yourself for a short time (time)
So don’t go outside if you don’t wanna die (die)
Just take out if I said hi
And scream YOLO to the sky

(Outro)
You oughta look out
