## Lyrics

(Ohh-oh, we the cool kids)

Wake up in the morning feeling like I do
Bike around an alley just to wait for you
Friends will be mistaken for a pair of pants
Oh, give me just a minute while I weigh my chance

Oh-ohh
Oh what do you say?
I'm watching you breaking down
Oh what do you say?
Yeah-eh

Today we're gonna feel alright
Won't grow up cause we've got time
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Grass is green, we're here and now
Killing times like chilling down
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
I say ohh-oh-ohh, we're the cool kids

Now I guess that we'll be dreaming of a lonely heart
Like someone that could make your walls collapsin' once a house of cards
Ohh, and once around the alley makes me think of what you said on the phone
Whoa-ohh, the noisiest crowd can leave a broken fellow standing alone

Whoaa
Oh what do you say?
I'm watching you breaking down
Oh what do you say?
Yeah-eh

Today we're gonna feel alright
Won't grow up cause we've got time
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Grass is green, we're here and now
Killing times like chilling down
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids. (ohh-oh)
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Yeah

Oh what do you say?
I'm watching you breaking down
Oh what do you say?
Ohh-oh-ohh-ohhh
Oh what do you say?
I'm watching you breaking down
Oh what do you say?
Yeah-yeah-ehhhhh

Today we're gonna feel alright
Won't grow up cause we've got time
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids. (yeah, cool kids)
Grass is green we're here and now
Killing times like chilling down
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids

(we the cool kids)
Today we're gonna feel alright
Won't grow up cause we've got time
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids. (yeah)
Grass is green we're here and now
Killing times like chilling down
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids

Today we're gonna feel alright. (feel alright)
Won't grow up cause we've got time
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Ohh-ohhh
Grass is green we're here and now. (here and now)
Killing times like chilling down
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids
Say ohh-oh, we the cool kids

## Student Loans

### Writers

AJR

"**Student Loans**" is a demo version of "Come Hang Out" that Ryan revealed during one of AJR's livestreams, linked here. Only a small portion of the song was revealed, and Ryan states that we will never hear any more of it.

The song was originally written when they were at college, before they had really started writing *The Click* and two years before *Neotheater*.

## Lyrics

But I get it while I'm runnin'
To my next class
Yes ma'am
I guess I thought album sales would be higher
When your band gets signed and the budget gets tighter
But you gotta get an education
Can you take the pressure?
Well you better, or it's over
Gotta gotta pay my,
Gotta pay my

## My Very First Love Song

### Length

5:07

**"My Very First Love Song"** was the eighth track on one of AJR's old albums, *Born and Bred*. It was deleted after the release of the *I'm Ready* EP, and most recordings of the song have been taken down.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know I'm not your typical boy
I know I'm not your typical boy
But you ain't so typical yourself, you know (woah)

But none of it will last
When I think about the past and how we were such good friends
Oh, but all I do is cry when I think about "goodbye"
Because everyone deserves a second chance

[Chorus]
There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking 'bout the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song

[Verse 2]
I know you've heard it all before
I mean, how cliché to write a song
'Bout the girl that keeps you strong, and I
I know I'm not your first choice
But it's not the time I hear you say
"I never liked you in that way"

Oh, but none of it will last
When I think about the past and how we were such good friends
Oh, but all I do is cry when I think about "goodbye"
Because everyone deserves a second chance

[Chorus]
There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking 'bout the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song

[Bridge]
She's the one I'm thinking of
And worst of all, I think I'm in love
Kyra was the kind of girl who understands
Just what you meant
She leaves me stumbling to go back and try again (woah)

[Chorus]
There's a reason why I always look away
When you're talking 'bout the boys that take your breath away
Let me live inside her arms
And let me tell her one more time
That she's the only one
She completes my very first love song

I know I'm not your typical boy

## Trivia

* This and "Country House" are tied for being the second longest AJR song, beaten by "2085".
Big Idea

**"Big Idea"** is the twelfth track on AJR's first album, *Living Room*.

## Lyrics

Pro tools and a mic and a big idea [x4]

I've seen almost every side of the industry
Except the side we've been working seven years to see
Just some kids with pro tools and a mic and a big idea, but no IDs

So bar scenes weren't an option
Ukulele DJs
Only band in the genre
And we're dreaming of Bahamas
So pass around the bottle
Good music's still good even if no one is watching

Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you like
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Trying to stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want

Pro tools and a mic and a big idea [x4]

John's too big to fail
Makin' superstars
His label's doing the thing and we were doing ours
Champaign at the discotheque
I was feeling kind of alone till I heard that track
Go!
And now we celebrate
If only for today
No story's a fairytale
I don't know if we'll make it
But we're not too big to fail

Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you like
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Trying to stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want

And we're just children in a world of diversion
Trying to stick it to the man before we're grown
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Trying to stick it to the man before we're grown

Pro tools and a mic and a big idea [x4]

Oh, oohh
Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you like
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Trying to stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle we made our start
You can do anything you want
You can do anything you want

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I admit I've been running from the problems day to day
Yesterday never seemed to pass
When we look to the promise to find that we have lost
Tomorrow never seems to last

[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could be a richer man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll find a plan
I'm not afraid

[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

[Verse 2]
I admit I've been trying to find a better home
I've wasted all this precious time
I can see you're denying with every chance you've got
You know this victory is mine, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could be a better man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll take your hand
I'm not afraid

[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

[Bridge]
I found a light through the shady hole (shady hole)
Where nothing lives and nothing grows (nothing grows)
I found a light that saved my soul
(Hey, yeah)

I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the time comes to begin here, I'll be there

[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

Oh yeah,
Oh, oh
Nothing's in my way, oh, oh
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way
What Everyone's Thinking

***What Everyone's Thinking*** is an EP released by AJR in 2016. It served as a demo to the band's second album, *The Click*, which was released 8 months later and contained all of its songs.

## Tracklist

 **Total length** | 20:07

## Trivia

* This EP is only one second longer than the *Weak (Remixes)* EP. This is likely just a coincidence.
* This is the second EP whose title doesn’t originate from one of it’s songs, the first being *AJR*.
* This is the first EP cover art to include Jack Met's famous trapper hat.
	+ It is not the first cover art to do so though, as that was the single "Let The Games Begin".
Instrumorphing

> An example of instrumorphing, from "World's Smallest Violin":
>
>
>

**Instrumorphing** is a technique that AJR used in some of the songs in *OK Orchestra*. It involves mixing during an instrumental section of a song, in a way that seamlessly transitions between two or more different instruments, while keeping a consistent melody. So far, it has been used in four songs.

The name "instrumorphing" was coined by a fan on Twitter (@AJROKO). However, AJR stated on their Twitter that this name was "too good not to use", and they confirmed that it is now an official term.

## Examples

* "Bummerland" (2:10 - 2:34): The first public example of instrumorphing. Heard during the bridge of the song.
* "Way Less Sad" (3:12 - 3:27): Heard at the very end of the song.
* "World's Smallest Violin" (0:55 - 1:10, 2:01 - 2:17): Possibly the most notable example of instrumorphing. It is used twice in the song, each directly after the chorus. The first example transitions from violin to trumpet to piano to violin, and the second example transitions from violin to vocals to electric guitar to xylophone.
* "OK Overture" (1:13 - 1:20): The shortest example so far. This song has an instrumental section, containing a sample of the first instrumorphing section in "World's Smallest Violin".
* "Overture" (1:39-1:47): AJR's first attempt at morphing instruments, they wouldn't do another attempt for over 5 years.

## Lyrics

Celebrate
Everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Oh everybody, everybody celebrate
Sitting in my mom's old minivan
Radio up haven't called me back
Living up the days of the "never gonna change"
Didn't stay like that
Hate to say it's been too long
Old school days I miss those old school songs
This is my throw
This is my throwback song
It's just like the ones (just like the ones)
The ones that we used to know
This is the music that makes me better
This is the feeling that turns me on
Oh everybody's got that window down summer time turn it up sing-along
So, celebrate
Everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Oh everybody, everybody celebrate
Lying in my bed going what if, what if
Well what if I just don't care
We all got the same heart beat, beat, beat, beat, beating gonna take you there
You do you (do you)
And I'll do me (do me)
I just miss the way we used to sing
This is my throw
This is my throwback song
It's just like the ones (just like the ones)
The ones that we used to know
This is the music that makes me better
This is the feeling that turns me on
Oh everybody's got that window down summertime turn it up sing-along
So, so, celebrate
Everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Oh everybody, everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Oh everybody, everybody celebrate
In the basement after dark
Truth or dare with Jimmy Clark
In the basement after dark
Truth or dare with Jimmy Clark
Oh
This is my throwback song
It's just like the ones
The ones that we used to know
This is the music that makes me better
This is the feeling that turns me on
Oh everybody's got that window down summertime turn it up sing-along
So, so, celebrate
Everybody celebrate
Celebrate
Oh everybody, everybody celebrate

Everybody celebrate

## Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh huh huh, let me tell you now, uh huh

[Verse 1]
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
Then someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back in your hands)
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
Now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)

Yes I do, now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Now, now, now, now

[Verse 2]
Trying to live without your love is one long, stupid night
Let me show you girl, that I know wrong from right
Every step you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Oh, followin' the girl, I didn't even wander out
Let me tell you now

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back in your hands)
Oh darling, I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
And now since I see you in his arms, uh huh

[Instrumental]

All I want, all I need
All I need!

Oh, give me one more chance (Tell you that I love you)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (I want you back)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
Let me live again

[Outro]
Tell him I need one more chance
To tell you that I love you, baby (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh baby

**"Come Hang Out"** is the thirteenth track on AJR's second album, *The Click*, and a song on the *What Everyone's Thinking* EP. It was also performed at the One Spectacular Night live show in 2020.

This song was adapted from a scrapped song called "Student Loans".

According to the band's Twitter page, each album they release has one song which "sets the stage" for their next album. "Come Hang Out" was the song that set the stage for their next album, *Neotheater*.

## Lyrics

Come hang out
'Cause you're outta your mind
You're working so damn hard
You forgot what you like
And come hang out
Don't you leave us behind
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

I can't complain, no, I won't be mourning
'Cause I skipped on prom
For Elvis Duran in the morning
All of my life I have been starving
Not for a dinner with friends, more of a starving artist

Yep yep I'm gonna miss this someday
Yep yep I missed another Friday
And all my friends say

Come hang out
'Cause you're outta your mind
You're working so damn hard
You forgot what you like
And come hang out
Don't you leave us behind
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Last album's sales could have been higher
Maybe that's why I haven't seen friends in awhile
They're at a bar down in the Bahamas
While I'm doing promo, tryna blow up in Chicago

Yep yep I'm gonna miss it someday
Yep yep I missed another Friday
And all my friends say

Come hang out
'Cause you're outta your mind
You're working so damn hard
You forgot what you like
And come hang out
Don't you leave us behind
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Come hang out
'Cause you're outta your mind
You're working so damn hard
You forgot what you like
And come hang out
Don't you leave us behind
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Come hang out
Cause you're missing a lot
You haven't gone that far
You can find a real job (find a real job)
And come hang out
We can save you a shot
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Should I go for more clicks this year?
Or should I follow the click in my ear?
[x4]

Come hang out
'Cause you're outta your mind
You're working so damn hard
You forgot what you like (forgot what you like)
And come hang out
Don't you leave us behind
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Come hang out
Cause you're missing a lot
You haven't gone that far
You can find a real job (find a real job)
And come hang out
We can save you a shot
But I'll be there next time
I'll be there next time

Screw your thing, it goes like this

Remember when we all got drunk?
I ended up with two broke thumbs
Way up, way up, oh no
We gon' burn the whole house down
(How's it go again?)
But dear Winter, I hope you like your name
But, OK

Bummerland, here I am
(When you talk-)
We can't wait to see what you do next
(The entertainment's here)
So put your best face on, everybody
Pretend you know this song, everybody, come hang
Sail the ocean, finding where you should be
(When you talk it's like wow)
It's cold out there, you're standing there
You're tryna face your greatest fear
But I've been so good
I've been so good this year

When you talk it's like wow (I'm OK)
Wow (bang! bang! bang!)
Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to go
And I hope it stays that way

Hello, hello
I get up, I get down
It's my all time low and I just can't wait (But I'm weak)
I've been so good, I've been so good this year
'Cause the quicker I'm there is the quicker I'll say
Bye, I don't wanna say
Goodbye, goodbye
'Cause I'm still turning out
I just really, really, really, really wanna show you my play
How's it go again?
And that's just how it is

And I wanna feel something again
(We gon' burn the whole house down)
Dear Winter
We can't wait to see what you do next (OK!)

I'm a little kid
All the big kids, they got drunk (So thank you)
Who am I to tell me who I am? (Oh no)
('Cause you're only going up from here)
My favorite color is you (No, I ain't scared of you)
But I'm weak (the entertainment's here)

AfterHours

**"AfterHours"** is the fourth track on AJR's *I'm Ready* EP.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Damn, now all the pretty teens and fake IDs around me
Where did they come from?
Oh we'll never look like all the models in the movies
We'll never know

[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights

[Chorus]
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with Coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now

[Verse 2]
Wait, give me a minute, just a minute, get my focus straight
They're looking bored
When did all my friends turn into fake IDs and skinny jeans?
I don't belong

[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights

[Chorus]
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with Coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now

## Lyrics

I hold you
I hold you closer then I ever knew
I could do
But I'm confused
I thought I'd recognize when love was true
But I'm confused

Am I ready for love?
Or maybe just a best friend
Should there be a difference
Do you have instructions
Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on TV
I grew up on Disney
But this don't feel like Disney

You say I turned out fine
I think I'm still turning out
You say I turned out fine
I think I'm still turning out
I think I'm still turning out

In my mind
I thought the birds would sing and sparks would fly
But it's just quiet
Am I cruel?
Or am I ignorant or was I fooled
By the stories I knew

Am I ready for love?
Or maybe just a best friend
Should there be a difference
Do you have instructions
Maybe I'm stuck on what I see on TV
I grew up on Disney
But this don't feel like Disney

You say I turned out fine
I think I'm still turning out
You say I turned out fine
I think I'm still turning out
I hope you stick around
We're gonna figure it out
Who can I turn to now?
When I'm still turning out
When I'm still turning out

I'm a little kid, and so are you
Don't you go and grow up before I do
I'm a little kid with so much doubt
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?
[x4]

Cuz I'm still turning out

No Grass Today

**"No Grass Today"** is the seventh track on AJR's second album, *The Click*, and a track on on the *What Everyone's Thinking* EP.

## Description

"No Grass Today" is about AJR's stance on the legalization of cannabis.

## Lyrics

I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's 'cause I'm the one on stage
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?
I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's because I love to play
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?

Does the grass look greener on my side of the speakers?
I tried a couple weekends, but that green's not for me
I thought I'd get clever
Make my lyrics come out better
But at 7/11's where you would find me

Don't wanna get paranoid
Just wanna be makin' noise
You wanna hit?
It's your choice
But please enjoy the show

I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's 'cause I'm the one on stage
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?
I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's because I love to play
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?

Last night at the concert
The audience it flickers
They're lighting up like Christmas still that greens not for me
On corners people cursing
To legalize their burning
But that ain't no concern of mine
I keep doing me

Don't wanna get paranoid
Just wanna be making noise
You wanna hit?
It's your choice
But please enjoy the show

I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's 'cause I'm the one on stage
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?
I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's because I love to play
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?

I'm not narcissistic
I'm just high off the music
And I don't wanna miss it
But I wouldn't stop you
I'm not narcissistic
You light up
If you like it
And though I may not like it
You just keep doing you

Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me
Keep doing, keep doing me

I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's 'cause I'm the one on stage
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?
I didn't smoke no grass today
But that's because I love to play
So, who am I to take away what makes you feel this great?

The Green And The Town

"**The Green And The Town**" is the eleventh track on AJR's first album, *Living Room*.

## Lyrics

A year from now, we won't be pretty
A year from now, we won't be young
But we will live among the giants
Before the giants learn the run

Now we are the blessed, now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know that it feels good
To feel at home

We would sail across the ocean
If cloudy skies should take our friends
And we will learn from the giants
Before the giants learn from them

Now we are the blessed, now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know that it feels good
To feel at home

What can I say, without a say?
We've got a way to go, and what can I do
To get back to you, and help us to find a home
To search the green and town

A year from now, we won't be lovers
We'll just be suits and ties and shoes
And we will grow without our parents
'cause soon we will be giants too

Now we are the blessed, now we are the strong
Take my hand, and let me know that it feels good
To feel at home

What can I say, without a say?
We've got a way to go, and what can I do
To get back to you, and help us to find a home
To search the green and town

I will search the green, and I will search the town
But I will never find no one like you. [6x]

## Trivia

* This is currently the fourth longest AJR song, beaten by "2085", "Country House", and "My Very First Love Song".
	+ Since "Country House" and "My Very First Love Song" were taken down at the release of I'm Ready (EP), the longest songs were not publicly available. This was true until 2085 was released, beating all the songs by over 20 seconds.
* Adam confirmed in an interview that the song is inspired by the poem Aeneid by Virgil, which consists of twelve books.
* The song was released on Ryan's birthday, more precisely when he was turning 21. The theme of the song is consistent with this, since in New York, the age of 21 is the age at which the greatest degree of independence is reached, in legal terms, and the song expresses the desire for the future.
Outside

This article is about old AJR content that is considered **lost**. Recordings of it may still exist on the internet, but adding them to this wiki is **strongly discouraged** as the band no longer wishes for the content to be publicly available and it will likely be taken down.

## Outside

### Length

2:49

“**Outside**” is a demo by AJR that is most notable for being the initial version of “Bummerland”, a song appearing on the album “OK ORCHESTRA”. The demo, having some similar chord progressions and instruments as Bummerland, was first teased in AJR’s 4th episode of the Neotheater World Tour Documentary, with the intro documenting the whistling that’s heard prominently in the demo as well as Bummerland.

The demo was first mentioned during AJR’s interview with Zach Sang, covering their album “OK ORCHESTRA”. Adam Met had stated that there was an old version of “Bummerland” with Jack revealed that it was called “Outside”.

In early 2022, a small group of AJR fans had come across a version of the demo titled “Outside (Open Verses)”, with instrumental verses and normal pre-choruses and choruses. This file was privately held by this small portion of the community for a while.

During the OK ORCHESTRA Tour masterclass in New York City, Ryan had discussed this demo, showing a preview of another version with the introduction found in “OK Overture”. Consequently a day later, the open verses demo had leaked onto YouTube, with the initial leak (and the channel) deleted by the RIAA, but has since seen re-uploads.

## Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
All my words turn inside out
Inside out inside my mouth
Troubles down inside my bones
I feel low, can I go?

[Chorus]
Outside
What's it like outside?
What's it like outside?
What's it like outside?
What's it like?

[Pre-Chorus]
All my words turn inside out
Inside out inside my mouth
Troubles down inside my bones
I feel low, can I go?

[Chorus]
Outside
What's it like outside?
What's it like outside?
What's it like outside?
What's it like?
Pitchfork Kids

**"Pitchfork Kids"** is the sixth track on AJR's first album, *Living Room*, and the third track on the *Infinity* EP.

## Description

AJR has said on Twitter that for every album, there's one song which "sets the stage" for their next album. This was the song that set the stage for their next album, *The Click*.

## Lyrics

(Oh)
I didn't know her, couldn't hold her, bones didn't settle in
She's gotta have it, gotta have it
Oh with her hipster friends

Ooh, ooh, she's the rough and the rowdiest kid
Ooh, ooh, and there's more where she lives

And why should I spend time running for my life?
(Oh)

And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids

Oh

The moon is upon us, gaining on us
She's crossed there to stay
We had to part, couldn't break her heart 'cause their blood Pumps through her veins

Oh, she's the rough and the rowdiest kid
Oh, and there's more where she lives

And why should I spend time running for my life?
(Oh)

And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids
Oh

And why should I spend time running for my life?

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids)

And when the skies are open, we'll still be singing this
I know they're coming for me, we're not the pitchfork kids
Oh, it's the loneliest life that we live
Oh, we're not running with the pitchfork kids

## Lyrics

Nobody knows what you're going through
So you just be you, and I'll be that, too
No one should know if you bleed red or blue
You just bleed you, and I'll sit with you

It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)

We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us

I wonder where, where your mind goes
Come out of the cold, we'll take the load
And if they hurt you with words so cruel
Here's what we'll do, we'll all fight for you

It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)
It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(No, it's on us)

We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us

It's not your fault you don't feel safe
It's not your fault so don't take blame
(It's on us, it's on us)
We know what we need to do
So we'll be there, it's not on you
(It's on us, it's on us)

We can try together
Make it right together
We can fight together
It's on us
Though your trust is stolen
Though your heart is broken
You are never broken
It's on us
Know that it's on us

## Lyrics

Oh father, father, I'm a dreamer
We dream of green, but now we're gray
Up on a hill, down by the river
That river took my girl away

And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go

I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

My calling, my calling [2x]

Oh, Cleopatra was a lover
But this world of mine is turning green
I'm sailing by the clouds above her
I'm finding out what all this means

And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go

I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

My calling, my calling [2x]

And I wonder, is something in the water make me wanting more?
Make me wanting more
A heartbreak and a hundred red balloons, now I'm off the floor
So here I go

I'm coming up, it might be my calling, my calling
I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky

My calling, my calling [2x]

Rock U

A cover/remix of the song “We Will Rock You” by Queen, **“Rock U”** was a single released by AJR in 2011 that intends to add its own twist to a classic Queen song. It was removed from public view sometime prior to the release of the “I’m Ready" EP. It was released as a single on September 8, 2011, but was later removed from most of the internet.
