Ain't It Fun

Paramore · Paramore [2013]

I don't mind, letting you down easy but just give me time

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.
