LYRICS: AJR – The DJ Is Crying For Help

[Verse 1: Jack Met]

Everyone’s laughin’ at me

But not like they used to

The room’s spinnin’ all around me

But not like I’m used to

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]

Hired, hired, can I get hired?

I got no skills except gettin’ high

I’m tryin’, tryin’, I can start Friday

You’ve wasted your life but thanks for applying

[Chorus: Jack Met]

Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I’m all grown up but you couldn’t tell

Now I don’t know what to do with myself

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

You got older cause you’re good at life

I’m all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don’t know if there’s anything else

The DJ is cryin’ for help

[Post-Chorus: Jack Met]

The DJ is cryin’ for help

Don’t know what to do with myself

Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I’m all grown up but you couldn’t tell

Now I don’t know what to do with myself

The DJ is cryin’ for help

[Verse 2: Jack Met]

Everyone’s trippin’ on pills

But now they’re prescribed too

And everyone’s stackin’ their bills

But not ’cause they like to

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]

Hired, hired, can I get hired?

Yeah, I fucked up, but I did it my way

I’m tryin’, tryin’, I can start Friday

Gettin’ a life’s a little like dyin’

[Chorus: Jack Met]

Hey, now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I’m all grown up but you couldn’t tell

Now I don’t know what to do with myself

(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)

You got older cause you’re good at life

I’m all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don’t know if there’s anything else

The DJ is cryin’ for help

[Post-Chorus: Jack Met, Marten Lieberman, Andy Sobelson, Alba Avoricani, Cat Capps, Rob Piccione, Ariel Gandler, Ezra Donellan, Dane Hagen & Chris Berry, All]

Don’t leave me out

The DJ is cryin’ for help

Don’t leave me out

Don’t know what to do with myself

Hey now, hold up, we were fun as hell

I’m all grown up, but you couldn’t tell

Now I don’t know what to do with myself

The DJ is cryin’ for help

You got older ’cause you’re good at life (Don’t leave me out)

I’m all seventeen at thirty-five

Now I don’t know if there’s anything else

The DJ is cryin’ for help

[Bridge: Jack Met]

And now I’m all (I’m all) alone (Alone)

Waitin’ for the beat to drop

Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

And now I’m all (I’m all) alone (Alone)

Waitin’ ’til the party starts

Be kind to me, be kind and wait it out

[Outro: Jack Met]

And now I’m all alone

Waitin’ ’til the party starts
