[Chorus: Jake, Jake & Nathan]

I just love this I swear I'll go viral

From the 'burbs to the streets now, it's a revival

The spirit is found in the idealistically idle

But the sickness sleeps inside our bones

With solipsistic overtones

[Chorus: Jake, Jake & Nathan]

I just love this I swear I'll go viral

From the 'burbs to the streets now, it's a revival

The spirit is found in the idealistically idle

The age of excess

And I just love it

I just love it

I just love it
