The Alphabet of Adulthood

[Verse 1] A is for anxiety that haunts me every day B is for the beers I drink to keep those moods at bay C for champagne problems I’d like to have but I am poor and D for the depression always knocking at my door [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright But it’s followed by a feeling That ev’rything is not quite right [Verse 2] E is for the Exercise I’m skipping everyday F is for the focus that I lack in every way G is for the Grubhub orders ‘cause I’m too tired to cook H is for the hopelessness that’s everywhere I look [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Sounds like a lot, it's not so bad Just lean into those things you're feeling And you'll get used to being sad [Verse 3] I is for infection, keeping me home for many years J is for the jealousy I have for better peers K, I'm only kidding, I hope this song won't make you sad L for the lies I tell myself to stop from going mad. [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Gets more sad as we go on I'd like to say it will get better But this is only half the song [Bridge] M for moods, I have a ton N for nothing, nada, none And O is for the openness I lack. P is for the Prozac script Q I'm gonna skip real quick And R is for remembering the past [Verse 4] S is for these silly songs, I sing them to stay sane T is for time going by while I sit, stuck in place U for universal like these feelings I describe V, the letter of the day, 'cause this song is a vibe. [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Just you wait, we're near the end And in awhile you'll learn to greet it Like some old forgotten friend [Verse 5] W, the wistful feeling follows me around X is for a xylophone, it makes a silly sound Y is for the yearning that I have for long gone days And Z is for the Zoloft keeping ev'rything at bay [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood We reached the end, you made it through I had hoped to make a better song I guess this will have to do [Refrain] [Fade to End] [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Look! It's the end, you made it through! I tried to make a happy song But I guess this will have to do [Chorus, stripped down] The alphabet of adulthood Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright But it’s followed by a feeling That ev'ry thing is not quite right [Outro] [Fade to End] [Chorus] The alphabet of adulthood Sung to a tune that’s oh so bright But it’s followed by a feeling That ev'rything is not quite right [Outro] [Fade to End]
