Watsky, Kate Nash - Hey, Asshole lyrics

Hey, asshole see the sun is shining
But, you are not smiling
And I don't know why and I don't know why
And I don't know why i'm an asshole
Cause the sun is shining
But, I am not smiling and I don't know why
And I don't know why and I don't know why

I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold
But, I don't see no fucking
Rainbow and my coffee's cold
I know I should be grateful
I know I'm good and able
But, I don't have the strength to
Get up from the kitchen table
This kind of shot comes once
Another opportunity of a lifetime
Just slipped away
And that's the fifth this month
But when you take a punch


Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one
Foot in front of the next

Got the power of my will
I don't wanna win a mil
But, I'm looking at the window sill
Gotta take a bitter pill
Gonna pay for what I did to my
Head and my heart'll foot the bill
Got a foot in my mouth
And because I'm kicking myself
I developed a habit of knocking
Out my front tooth looking uncouth
Want to hear the truth
Give it to me straight 151 proof
Telling myself it'll happen when I'm
Happy but I'm climbing
Up a ladder that has got no end
Hung up on a rung I'll never
Make it to the top
I'm looking at the bottom and I must descend
All I want to do is buck this trend
Everybody need a buck to spend
And I'll be working on myself, til
I work on someone else
Til I get there Ima just pretend

I know I'm often told
That there's a pot of gold
But, I don't see no fucking
Rainbow and my coffee's cold
I know I should be grateful
I know I'm good and able
But, I don't have the strength to
Get up from the kitchen table
This kind of shot comes once
Another opportunity of a lifetime
Just slipped away
And that's the fifth this month
But when you take a punch
Don't you ever forget
Why you get up and you put one
Foot in front of the next

Hey, asshole see the sun is shining
But, you are not smiling
And I don't know why and I don't know why
And I don't know why i'm an asshole
Cause the sun is shining
But, I am not smiling and I don't know why
And I don't know why and I don't know why

When I'm in a crisis in a moment of silence
I look under my eyelids
And I'm checking my mileage
I been using a pool of water as
A mirror but not for style it's
So I can reach in and pimpslap
My reflection for acting childish
Spent a half an hour
Sitting at the bottom of my shower
Letting the water run over my body and
(dammit I wanted to get up) but
I didn't have the power
I don't have the answer anyway yay
(yay yay yay yay yay yay)
Don't want to panic but I got to come clean
Because the plan of the planet is just mean
Knew it was tough, but dammit it's obscene
I been huffing and puffing up
To the top of the
Summit and I'mma rough it if
I have enough steam
I'll keep on coming and coming
Until I'm coming with
The stamina of a salmon
Who's heading upstream

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Hey, asshole (hey asshole)
See the sun is shining
(see the sun is shining)
But, you are not smiling
(but you are not smiling)
And I don't know why and I don't know why
And I don't know why
I'm an asshole (such an asshole)
Cause the sun is shining
(cause the sun is shining)
But, I am not smiling (no I am not smiling)
And I don't know why and I don't know why
And I don't know why
