YOLO
YOLO, you only live once.
The battle cry of a generation
This life is a precious gift
So don’t get too crazy
It’s not worth the risk
You know that we are still young
So don’t be dumb
Don’t trust anyone
cause you only live once
Ugh, you only live once
That’s the motto
So take a chill pill
ease off the throttle
Never go to loud clubs
Cause it’s bad for your ears
Your friends will all be sorry
When they can’t hear
And stay the hell away from drugs
Cause they’re not legal
Then bury all your money in the backyard
Like a beagle
Cause you should never trust a bank
They’ve been known to fail
And never travel by car
A bus, boat or by rail
And don’t travel by plane
And don’t travel at all
Build a bomb shelter basement
with titanium walls
And where titanium suits
in case pianos fall on ya
And never go in saunas
Cause they’re crawlin’ with piranhas
And never take the stairs
Cause they’re often unsafe
You only live once
Don’t let it go to waste
You know that we are still young
So hold off on the fun
Cook your meat ’til it’s done
Cause you only live once
Yeah
And here's another piece of advice
Stay away from kids
Cause their hair is filled with mad lice.
There's no such thing
As too much Purell.
This a cautionary tale
Word to George Orwell
So don't 1980 force
Any plugs into sockets
Always wear a chastity belt
And triple lock it
Then hire a taster
Make him check your food for poison
And if you think your mailman is a spy
Then destroy him.
No blankets or pajamas
They can choke you in your sleep
Two words about furniture
Killing machines
Board your windows up
The sun is bad for your health.
And always wear a straight jacket
So you're safe from yourself.
Take no chances (No chances)
Stop freelancin' (Right now)
Invest in your future
Don't dilute your finances (Uh huh)
401K
Make sure it's low risk
Then get some real estate (How much)
4.2%
Thirty year mortgage, that's important
That's a great deal
And if you can't afford it
Don't forge it on your last bill
Renting is for suckers, right now
A dependable savings
And you'll retire
With money in your account, beast
YOLO, say no no
Isolate yourself
And just roll solo
Be care-folo
You oughta look out
Also stands for YOLO.
You know that we are still young.
Burn the prints off your thumbs
Then pull out all your teeth
So you can't bite your tongue
Only on this earth for a short time, time
So don't go outside, cause you don't want to die, die
Just take our advice and hide
And scream YOLO to the sky
You oughta look out.
