Lyrics

What?
What?
Ooh

He's got money to spend, it takes him 'round the bend
Wants to slide right in with his newfound friends
He was sad, run down, and he started to drown
Went from sharp white snow to the golden brown

You're a grownup now, you do grownup things
And you light a spliff while your peers all ping
Got your phone muted, but nobody rings
Yeah, the tune's all wrong, but we all still sing

Ah, what, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?
What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?

He's sat in the corner (He's sat in the corner)
Listening to new order
And starts to wondеr
The eternal slumbеr
When it would come and how it would be not getting any younger
He sat in the corner
And it sent him under

He's a grownup now, he does grownup things
And he lights his spliff while his peers all ping
Got his phone muted, but nobody rings
Yeah, the tune's all wrong, but we all still sing
I said, "The tune's all wrong, but we all still sing"

Ah, What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?
What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living?
Are you just sick of living?

Ba-da-ba-da-ba (What)
Ba-da-ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-ba-da-ba (What)
Ba-da-ba-la-la-la-la
Ba-da-ba-da-ba (What)
Ba-da-ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-ba-da-ba (What)

Here it comes for the full tongue twister
Never pinned him for a full-time waster
Not his fault he loves the drugs and the liquor
In his thoughts all of the time
'Cause the ghosts in his mind turn down for a second
And it feels sublime when the crowd starts to beckon
And he loses himself, a force to be reckoned
No guns, no knives, just a mouth as a weapon

Yeah, the tune's all wrong, but we all still sing
The tune's all wrong, but we all still sing

What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?
What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?
What, what are you running away from?
Are you just sick of living under the thumb?

(What, what)
Running, running away from (What)
What are you running away from?

Hello? Sorry? Hello?
