Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out (Pickin' it up but then I put it back down) I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about (Pickin' it up but then I put it back down) And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout [Chorus] 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
