Hey, Asshole (Feat. Kate Nash)

Hey asshole

See the sun is shining

But you are not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why

I'm an asshole

'Cause the sun is shining

But I am not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why

I know I'm often told

That there's a pot of gold

But I don't see a f**king rainbow and my coffee's cold

I know I should be grateful

I know I'm good and able

But I don't have the strength

To get up from the kitchen table

This kind of shot comes once

Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away

And that's the fifth this month

But when you take a punch

Don't you ever forget

Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next

Got the power of my will

I don't needa to win a mil

But I'm looking at window sill

Gotta take a bitter pill

Gonna pay for what I did to my head

And my heart'll foot the bill

Got a foot in my mouth

And because I'm kicking myse

Lf I developed a habit of knocking out my front tooth

Looking uncouth

Want to hear the truth

Give it to me straight

151proof

Telling myself it'll happen

When I'm happy

But I'm climbing up a ladder

That has got no end

Hung up on a rung I'll never make it to the top

I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend

All I want to do is buck this trend

Everybody need a buck to spend

And I'll be working on myself

Til I work on someone else

Til I get there I'ma just pretend

I know I'm often told

That there's a pot of gold

But I don't see a f**king rainbow and my coffee's cold

I know I should be grateful

I know I'm good and able

But I don't have the strength to get up from the kitchen table

This kind of shot comes once

Another opportunity of a lifetime just slipped away

And that's the fifth this month

But when you take a punch

Don't you ever forget

Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next

Hey asshole

See the sun is shining

But you are not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why

I'm an asshole

'Cause the sun is shining

But I am not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why

When I'm in a crisis

In a moment of silence

I look under my eyelids

And I'm checking my mileage

I been using a pool of water as a mirror but not for style it's

So I can reach in and pimp slap my reflection for acting childish

Spent a half an hour

Sitting at the bottom of my shower

Letting the water run over my body

And damm it I wanted to get up

But I didn't have the power

I don't have the answers anyway yay yay yay yay

Don't want to panic but I got to come clean

Because the plan of the planet is just mean

Knew if was tough but dammit it's obscene

I been huffing and puffing up to the top of the summit

And I'ma rough it if I have enough steam

I'll keep on coming and coming

Until I'm coming with the stamina of a salmon

Who's heading upstream

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

Hey asshole

See the sun is shining

But you are not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why

I'm an asshole

'Cause the sun is shining

But I am not smiling

And I don't know why and I don't know why

And I don't know why
