Lyrics Horrorshow – How We Get Down

And it’s funny ’cause I thought I wanted to be left alone
But my mates are so entertaining, I’d hate to miss an episode
Who you writing off, who you taking on?
Who you letting go?
Hear the sound of my head going round and round
Till it’s too loud to drown it out
See I’m bound to build a mountain out
A molehill but it still gon’ amount to nowt
Ain’t a shadow of a doubt about it
It’ll come round unannounced
Dunno how to deal when I’m
Feeling down and out, sing it loud now
And all my friends are fuckups
But they’re fun to have around
Still every now and then
I need some peace and quiet, turn the dial down
I guess I got that fear of missing out but
But that’s how we get down

And you might think you’ve heard me sing this before
But it always comes back for an encore
Don’t you say it’s played out, that’s uncalled for
Won’t ya just hum along to the sound of the chords, ’cause
‘Cause that’s how we get down

It’s Friday night
And I’m out with my friends
Hoodie, t-shirt and shorts on

Never been one for trends
You can guess how this one ends
Well I guess it all depends
If we get our hot little hands on that which we all depend
It make me wonder if it’s real or just pretend
Here we go again
Gather round at the bar go round for round
Working all week we been counting down
Drinking like fish that’s about to drown
We ’bout ’bout it now till the power’s out
Or my legs give way like a roundabout
Yeah, it’ll come round unannounced
Dunno how to deal
When I’m feeling down and out
And all my friends are fuckups but they’re fun to have around
If you think they’re great when they’re up
You should see them when they’re coming down
Holding court for days, we each take turns to wear the crown
‘Cause that’s how we get down

And you might think you’ve heard me sing this before
But it always comes back for an encore
Don’t you say it’s played out, that’s uncalled for
Won’t ya just hum along to the sound of the chords, ’cause
‘Cause that’s how we get down

You might think you’ve heard this all before
