Ain't it fun when you're always on the run Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you've become Ain't it fun when you get so high Well...that you just can't come Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young It's such fun Ain't it fun when you taking care of number one Ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung It's such fun Well, so you come up to me and spit right in my face I didn't even feel it It was such a disgrace I broke the window smashed my fist right through the glass I didn't even feel it It happened so fast Such fun Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt Ain't it fun when you she splits and leaves you on the run Well, Ain't it fun when you broken up every thing that you ever done Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young It's such fun Such fun
