Aint it fun was written by Hayley Williams and Taylor York of the band Paramore. It reflects the transition into adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it. The inspiration came as the band was going through a phase of transition and growth, both personally and professionally.
I don't mind, Letting you down easy, but just give it time If it don't hurt now well just wait, just wait a while You're not the big fish in the pond no more You are what they're feeding on So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you? So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you?
Ain't it fun? Living in the real world Ain't it good? Being all alone Where you're from You might be the one who's running things Well you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want See it's easy to ignore trouble When you're living in your bubble So what are you gonna do When the world don't orbit around you? So what are you gonna do When nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun? Living in the real world Ain't it good? Being all alone
Ain't it good to be on your own? Ain't it fun you can't count on no one? Ain't it good to be on your own? Ain't it fun you can't count on no one? Ain't it fun? Living in the real world
