[Verse 1]

I do remember learning

It came and went real fast

But I'm wasted now on confidence

I'm busy, I'm hesitant to spend my precious time in class

[Verse 2]

I run a hamster wheel called Gamut

Wonder what my old friends think

They are swimming in the koi pond

At the mall and yelling through the glass

"You are an opportunist dick"

[Refrain]

I'm alive and I'm on fire

I'll have a cider

I will speak for my generation

Famous by association

I'm 21, I'm 21

[Verse 3]

I weigh a hundred and fucking something pounds

That makes me almost good

It is nice to be a hero

But it's better to be anything that anyone could want in a woman

[Verse 4]

My Sittoo's watching me and laughing

Slumly, you're a grown-up now

And you don't have to be an ingénue

And there is nothing wrong with you

As long as you make your family proud

[Refrain]

You're alive and you're on fire

Why are you so tired?

You're 21, you're 21

Can you believe it, huh?

You're 21

[Outro]

Salt of the earth, vinegar, piss

Pillar to post insisting this

Man, I can be here and not of it

I'm 21
