[The Lonely Island, Adam Levine, Kendrick Lamar - YOLO lyrics]

YOLO, you only live once
The battle cry of a generation
This life is a precious gift
So don't get too crazy
It's not worth the risk yeah

You know that we are still young
So don't be dumb don't trust anyone
'Cause you only live once

Uh, you only live once, that's the motto
So take a chill pill, ease off the throttle
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
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 suit's 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

You know that we are still young
So hold off on the fun
Cook your meat till it's done
'Cause you only live once

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
Now, board your windows up the sun
Is bad for your health
And always wear a straitjacket so
You're safe from yourself

Uh huh, take no chances, stop freelancin'
Invest in your future
Don't dilute your finances
401K, make sure it's low risk
Then get some real estate (how much?) , 42%
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!

YOLO, say no no
Isolate yourself and just roll solo
Be careful-o
You Oughta Look Out also stands for YOLO

You know that we are still young
Burn the prints off your thumbs
Then pull out all your teeth
So you can't bite your tongue

Only on this earth for a short time, time
So don't go outside, cause you
Don't want to die, die
Just take our advice and hide
And scream YOLO to the sky

You oughta look out
