Stupid (Young, Dumb, and Full of Dreams) Lyrics

I was 13 when I first saw Comedy Central

Premium Blend and old SNL

Friday nights I'd watch every half hour special

And thought someday I might be on that stage as well

Cut to college, I'm 19, yeah I'm a sophomore

In a sketch group that my friends and I had formed

Every night we'd write a million jokes and bits

While getting wasted in our dorm

Thought we would take the world by storm

God we were so fucking stupid

Yeah we were so fucking stupid yeah

Well we were young (we were young)

And we were dumb (we were dumb)

And we were oh so full of dreams (dreams)

And we were so fucking stupid

By junior year writing jokes was my obsession

I'd stay up late until my pen was out of ink

For the first time I felt like I had something special

Excited every day

Thought that would never go away

Man I was so fucking stupid

Yeah I was so fucking stupid yeah

Well I was young (I was young)

And I was dumb (I was dumb)

And I was positively covered in dreams (dreams)

And I was so fucking stupid

I had direction, I was really on fire

I thought that we'd be the greatest comedy group in the entire world

Yeah we were closer than any sisters or brothers

And half of us ended up dating half the others

We were always together

Just a goofy group of friends

Before I knew it, it would all come to an end

My senior year as graduation was approaching

No real plans for what I'd do after that

The only thing that gave me any sense of meaning

Was writing pages upon pages of sketches every evening

Second semester, a cold night in January

I went to a dive bar open mic

I got on stage and I did 5 minutes of stand up

And I knew right away that

This was really where it's at

It felt inevitable

I'd be on Comedy Central

God that was so fucking stupid

Yeah that was absofuckly stupid yeah

When I was young (I was young)

And I was dumb (I was dumb)

And I was choking on a big load of dreams (dreams)

And I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)

I was so fucking stupid

(So fucking stupid)
