YOLO

Lyrics

[Intro: Andy Samberg & Adam Levine] (YOLO) YOLO, you only live once (Ooh) The battle cry of a generation This life is a precious gift So don't get too crazy, it's not worth the risk [Chorus: Adam Levine] You know that we are still young So don't be dumb Don't trust anyone 'Cause you only live once [Verse 1: Akiva Shaffer, Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg & Adam Levine] Uh, you only live once, that's the motto So take a chill pill, ease off the throttle (Yeah) 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 not legal (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 or 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 wear titanium suits in case pianos fall on you And never go to 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 (Well) [Chorus: Adam Levine] You know that we are still young (Ooh) So hold off on the fun (Yeah) Cook your meat 'til it's done (Yeah, yeah, yeah) 'Cause you only live once [Verse 2: Akiva Shaffer, Jorma Taccone & Andy Samberg] 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 straitjacket so you're safe from yourself [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] Uh-huh, take no chances (No chances) Stop freelancin' (Right now) Invest in your future, don't dilute your finances (Uh-huh) 401K (K), 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 [Bridge: The Lonely Island, The Lonely Island & Adam Levine, Adam Levine] YOLO, say no-no Isolate yourself and just roll solo, be careful-o "You oughta look out" also stands for YOLO (Ooh-hoo) [Chorus: Adam Levine] You know that we are still young (Ooh) Burn the prints off your thumbs (Yeah) Then pull out all your teeth (Yeah) So you can't bite your tongue [Post-Chorus: All] Only on this Earth for a short time, time So don't go outside 'cause you don't wanna die, die Just take our advice and hide And scream YOLO to the sky [Outro: Andy Samberg] You oughta look out
