Ain't It Fun
Paramore · Paramore [2013]
If it don't hurt now but 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 from?
You might be the one who's running things
Well you could ring anybody's bell to get what you want
You 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
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
(x2)
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun? Living, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun? Ain't it fun?
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world
Ain't it good? (Ain't it good?)
Being all alone
Ain't it fun?
Living in the real world ('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good? (Ain't it good?)
Being all alone
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world.....
Ain't It Fun
Ain't It Fun stands as a defining track from Paramore's self-titled 2013 album, marking a significant evolution in the band's sound. Moving away from the polished pop-punk of their earlier years, the recording embraces a darker, more mature alternative rock aesthetic. The song captures the emotional turbulence of growing up, reflecting themes of disillusionment and resilience that permeate the group's later discography. As a centerpiece of their fourth studio effort, it showcases the band's ability to blend melodic hooks with introspective songwriting. The track remains a staple of their live performances, resonating with fans through its raw energy and honest portrayal of navigating life's complexities. It solidified Paramore's status as enduring figures in modern rock music.
