  • I'm not gonna go out today
    I gonna sit right here and wish the world away
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife
    I don't care if the people stare
    I'm gonna stay right here in my underwear
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife

    You know I get embarrassed most of the days
    When I'm walking 'round Camden with a smirk on my face
    Put my hand in my pocket to find some change
    Buy a bottle of gin to get the memories erased
    'Cause you know what, life is extremely divisive
    It's a fraudulent razor for you to trim your sides with
    Young, dumb, living off mum
    That's a line from a friend I thought I should bum
    Now all the words are my own, but I don't want you to judge
    I thought inspiration was all about fun
    Life's been eating me up, it's poisoned my cup
    And if I leave the house, I'll get hit by a truck

    I'm not gonna go out today
    I gonna sit right here and wish the world away
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife
    I don't care if the people stare
    I'm gonna stay right here in my underwear
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife

    In the world of normal people, I'm a monkey
    It's painted on their faces that they think I'm a junkie
    In the way that I dress
    The people I bed
    The way I express
    The things in my head
    I don't go to the bar
    I sit in the dark
    I smoke a cigar
    I play the guitar
    I stay in my house
    I put on my sounds
    The neighbors tell me to turn it down, so

    I'm not gonna go out today
    I gonna sit right here and wish the world away
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife
    I don't care if the people stare
    I'm gonna stay right here in my underwear
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife

    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la
    Lowlife
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la
    Lowlife

    People come, people go
    People high, people low
    People stay, people change
    People lie, people don't
    I don't fulfill my potential
    'Cause everyone around me is so self-referential
    Hypocritical, maybe, a petulant baby
    (Wah wah wah, shut up)
    Shut up, you're driving me crazy
    Call me a lowlife, that shit don't faze me
    I'm alright on my own, I don't need you to save me

    I'm not gonna go out today
    I gonna sit right here and wish the world away
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife
    I don't care if the people stare
    I'm gonna stay right here in my underwear
    'Cause I'm a lowlife, lowlife

    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la
    Lowlife
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la (la-la-la-la-la)
    La-la-la-la-la
    Lowlife

    Hello, mum
    Nah, I'm not comin' over for Sunday dinner
    I think I've had too much to drink
    I love you
    Lowlife
