(Hopkins) Royals
If this is life, I'm unimpressed
Adulthood's nothing like the tales in the movies
I've got stretch marks and saggy breasts
Seven extra pounds, and I'm full of envy
Cuz every song's, like, written by a kid I probably used to babysit
Killing it by puberty while I can barely stay fit
So unfair that Lorde's a millionaire at seventeen
And everybody's got kids, a mortgage, real responsibility
Neck pain, diets, "hot chicks" were born after me
So unfair, I have to pay for my own health care
And we used to be Royals
How was that 10 years ago?
Seems like yesterday 2004
I wish I had another go
If I could be a high schooler
I could be the prom queen
And baby I'd rule (I'd rule) high school
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I can tell we're old
We count our dollars in our IRA while you party
And once we're in our comfy clothes
We watch youtube clips
Eat chips and feel self-pity
Cuz every song's, like, written by a kid I probably used to babysit
Killing it by puberty while I can barely stay fit
So unfair that Lorde's a millionaire at seventeen
And everybody's got kids, a mortgage, real responsibility
Neck pain, diets, "hot chicks" were born after me
So unfair, being carded is getting rare
And we used to be Royals
How was that 10 years ago?
Seems like yesterday 2004
I wish had another go
If I could be a high schooler
I could be the prom queen
And baby I'd rule (I'd rule) high school

Woah,
So old
Woah
We're not where we thought we'd be
I miss the days of JTT
Growing old is so unfair
I just found a gray pubic hair

Hilarious and true. And such a voice and face on that girl.
Hilarious so happy our radio station found this!
This was funny and very well done! Hopkins class of 91
so nostalgic. Who knew HHS was actually so great.
This is brilliantly hilarious and describes the mid-to-late 20s perfectly

yeah describes how lazy and how much you people complain about not having opportunities... wake up and do something for yourself. If it was easy then everyone would be doing it. it is easy to be lazy and sit at home and wonder why you are not making money, A lot of people do that

I LOVE this!!! I am an 02 Alumni, wish I would have thought of this. Go Royals!!!
Awesome!!! I raised my children in Hopkins High School
That was serious talent, I wouldn't have known it was a parody had I not been in the _know_ already.

This really made me smile at work today. I can't believe it's been 10 years! Very cool, Molly.
This is awesome! I totally feel this way sometimes and now I have a song to sing about it. Go Royals!
LOVE IT! Super funny - Robbinsdale Armstrong 1996 - so so old...
This is hilarious! Loved it - Great parody.
This was spot on for some of us - and I'm in my 50's! "If this is life, I'm not impressed" either!
This music video sums up my current experience. Hopkins was the best. Thank you, Molly Dworsky. You made my life better by creating this.
I like this 100 times better than the original, put this on the radio immediately. Oh, wait, the radio already ruined it by playing the original 87,452 times a day. Great job though Molly, please do more songs!!
Delightful! I truly laughed out loud. And while I am about 30 years older than Miss Molly, I do not join those who think she is too young to be lamenting her "lost youth". This is a parody, folks, and a truly fine one. Enjoy it for the clever and well-executed comedy it is!

Great work, Molly. The funniest and most clever parody I've yet seen of this song. Nice work on the vocals, too. Nice attention to detail. Can't wait for the next one!
Hopkins represent! :P
Wait till you're forty. I still can't believe it.
Suddenly I realize I graduated a decade earlier than these people who are complaining about getting old.
I think I've watched this at least 5x. I love it, good job!
Molly this is the funniest parodys to this song ive ever hear. very nice and exellent job :)
As a Royal graduating this year, I love it! Putting Hopkins on the map haha

This is a delight and made a rough day smoother. There is nothing like laughter. Will be promoting this to all I know.
Saw this on the news this morning!
She is much better looking than the original Lorde herself!!
Molly, you should put this up for people to buy!
Wonderful Molly!! Love you lots
Absolutely phenomenal. When tribute blurs with parody, you know you’ve done good.

Well done, Molly! Even as a male, being just slightly older than you, this song certainly resonates in a way that makes me reminisce and chuckle. Awesome work.
