30 (Explicit)

Lyrics by：David Ottestad

Composed by：David Ottestad

30 is f**ked up and I'll tell you why

In your 20s you spend time saying goodbye

To your lived-in kid skin and it feels like new living

You're free to begin and your dreams have no ceiling

But one day you'll 'cross that line

And your friends won't have the time

You'll see that there's no lifeline

Only you and your limits

And suddenly what could be

Is replaced with what you need

A 401k savings

And some guilty pleasure

And the truth is there's no shame to finding your feet

All the way up to and through your 30s

But the story we see when we're shapeable teens

Is that properly f**ked up American dream

So one day we're losing sleep

Over dumb s**t like equity

And the dreams that we dare to dream

Have to fall within reason

And suddenly wild and free

Is beat down to mild and weak

And there's no time for asking why

The answer's a deadline

And I know that we're all not exactly the same

But can we agree that the pressure's insane

To obsess hustle grind just to survive

Like it's not a man-made mountain that we all climb

And sure there are good days too

And yes your kids are so cute

Remember when we were young

And so full of living

I guess that it's not so bad

And it's not polite to be sad

The system is ironclad

And tomorrow I get paid
