Catch 22

[Hook: Anne-Marie]

And stay, stay, stay, another round

'Cause who wants to live forever?

Who wants to burn it down?

Down, down, down, down

And we can paint the town

'Cause who wants to sing the blues?

So some you win or some you lose

It's all a catch-22

[Verse 1: Illy]

Yeah, I could be getting old, but I'm getting round

Call it immature, sure, but hear me out

'Cause the only thing promised is the here and now

If we didn't live it up, never live it down, yeah

And when I jump I hold on, I'm like, "Oh my Lord"

If it all goes wrong then it's all my fault

Man, some just want to watch your world burn

But some on the straight and narrow lost first turn, so

Before you play, take a page of my own advice

It's all a game, know the price when you roll the dice

And what's the rush man? Nowhere else to go tonight

And we ain't getting out on time, let alone alive

The choice is yours, your down for the cause

Be hated or adored, but never ignored

And whatever card you draw you can't win them all

So leave the sad songs at the door, get involved and

[Hook: Anne-Marie & Illy]

And stay, stay, stay, another round

'Cause who wants to live forever?

Who wants to burn it down?

Down, down, down, down

And we can paint the town

'Cause who wants to sing the blues?

So some you win or some you lose

It's all a catch-22

It's all a catch-22

[Verse 2: Illy]

Oh, you're not happy where you at heart, fuck it off then

Just make it not for nothing when you cut your losses

You haven't got it made, but you got your options

Ditch smokes for sleep, ditch shots for crossfit

What you tryna live longer? Take a bow

What's the point of all those years if you spend them missing out?

Some of it's worth the risk, hoping you don't forget

Bad as the world can get none of it's permanent

So no politics or parties, even if

We solving world problems with our lager on our lips

And for all the easy ways out, the harder that it gets

Now isn't that ironic? No Alanis Morissette

We a hard act to follow, pouring the bottle

YOLO the motto, could all end tomorrow

Set your watch fast, stay ahead of your time

If you wait, might never arrive, that's the vibe so

[Hook: Anne-Marie & Illy]

And stay, stay, stay, another round

'Cause who wants to live forever?

Who wants to burn it down?

Down, down, down, down

And we can paint the town

'Cause who wants to sing the blues?

So some you win or some you lose

It's all a catch-22

It's all a catch-22

It's all a catch-22

[Bridge: Anne-Marie & Illy]

Some paint the town (some paint the town)

Some sing the blues (some sing the blues)

Oh some you win, oh some you lose

It's all a catch-22

Some paint the town (some paint the town)

Some sing the blues (some sing the blues)

Oh some you win, oh some you lose

It's all a catch-22

Some paint the town (some paint the town)

Some sing the blues (some sing the blues)

Oh some you win, oh some you lose

It's all a catch-22

Some paint the town (some paint the town)

Some sing the blues (some sing the blues)

Oh some you win, oh some you lose

It's all a catch-22
