Your voice is shot, your ears are ringin'
Now you're up there singin' about some days long gone
You don't feel so hot (so hot), don't feel too inspired
Nah ya just feel tired, and sick of everything before it even starts
Welcome to adult life honey
Why don't ya settle in - make yourself right at home
Cuz this is where you're at now buddy
Your desk is over there, let's get your paperwork done
Adult life, adult life
Your friends moved out (moved out), far away from the city
So they can go and have their baby
And find a home they can own
It's like a joke you already know
Waiting for the at punch line
It gets a little less funny each time, especially when it's on you
This is called adult life baby
This wine in your glass instead of milwaukee's best
This is 401k and weekend getaways
It's cleanin' up the past - wash your dreams down the drain
Adult life, adult life
This is what you work for darlin'
Best sellin' novels in bed next to your sweet newly-wed
This is is shopping malls on the weekends
It's taking out loans just to pay off the debt
Adult life, adult life
This is what you work for dalin', well isn't it?
So there ya are, strummin' guitar
In some shit-hole bar
Waiting for last call, to get your twenty dollars from the door
This is your adult life darlin'
I'll see ya back at work in the morning
Please rest those tired eyes tonite
Please rest those tired eyes tonite
Please rest those tired eyes tonite
Please rest those tired eyes tonite
