## Description

The band said this about the song:

*"We were up on our tour bus at like four AM writing this thing. We just had “Oh my, oh my God” and I think the clock hit 4:01 and suddenly the inspiration hit, and we wrote literally the entire song in ten minutes. We got really inspired by this Kanye Song, the snare and the kicks specifically… we just started thinking about lyrics, what is a lot of stuff that we’re bored of."*

## Lyrics

Oh my oh my God

The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man

I used to be distracted by my favorite song
I loved it very much I made the song my alarm
And now I kinda hate hearing it every morn’
Don’t wake up anymore
I don’t wanna be bored
I used to be distracted rolling ‘round in the dirt
But recently I’m thinking ‘bout my purpose on Earth
But I don’t wanna think about my purpose no more
‘Cause it may come up short
Man, I hate being bored

I’ve been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

But
Oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man

Don’t make plans
‘Cause oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

(The entertainment’s here!) (x2)

I used to be distracted by my burgers and shakes
I’m running out of things that I can do with my day
‘Cause I can only eat so many times in a day
‘Til I’m bored again
And I’m stuck in my brain
You wonder what they did before inventing the phone
Yeah, how could anybody face the quiet alone
I’d rather be in Vegas than my very own home
Yeah, my cash’ll be gone
But my mind’ll be blown

I’ve been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

But

Oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don’t make plans
‘Cause oh my oh my God
The entertainment’s here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

(The entertainment’s here!) (x4)
