Pickin It Up

Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out I'll join 'em talking 'bout the people everybody talk about And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light Now it's the 48th hour of a two-day night And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young? The show isn't over, but I'm long since gone I feel like I let them down when I don't wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
