    This song makes me sad bc it reminds me that this young life I have right now with the people in it is just temporary, soon it’ll all just fade.

      ​@@melvinfernando2290remember they didn't expect people to like the songs it all started as a parody of pop music so they tried to make the most ridiculous pop song to prove a point but instead found fame from kids, electric feel and time to pretend.

    LYRICS
    I'm feelin' rough I'm feelin' raw I'm in the prime of my life
    Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives
    I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars
    You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars
    This is our decision to live fast and die young.
    We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
    Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
    Forget about our mothers and our friends
    We were fated to pretend.
    I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
    I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
    I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
    Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone
    But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
    Love must be forgotten. life can always start up anew
    The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
    We'll find some more models, everything must run its course
    We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
    We were fated to pretend
    Yeah yeah yeah
