Every day’s a distraction nAll the animals just looking for actionnAnd Emily’s free-styling rhymesnSmoking in the girl’s room to kill some timenCause all they want is a girl who nParties hard and doesn’t bother to arguenAnd nobody’s worse for the wear nEverybody’s cool with the “I don’t care”nnSeventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I’ve a feeling nThat she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favorsnEmily, everyone told her it don’t get much better which only upset hernCould this be as good as it gets?nnJust as loud as a half-stacknOf vodka tonic bottled up in her backpacknShe’s badder than big heavy Jane’s nShe turns it all out but the fact remains nThat all we do is talk about the future nLike there’s some way to control itnWhy not just enjoy the ride?nnSeventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I’ve a feeling nThat she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favorsnEmily, everyone told her it don’t get much better which only upset hernCould this be as good as it gets?nnShe said if this is the nightlife I’d rather stay innYou call this a good time I just call it a trip nIf this is as good as it gets then I’m packing up my shit and I’m gonennSeventeen candles are burning bright tonight but I’ve a feeling nThat she believes she’s a bit old for cake and gifts and party favorsnEmily, everyone told her it don’t get much better which only upset hernCould this be as good as it gets?n
