Oh, to be young again. It's difficult to look at a generation younger than yours and not be slightly jealous of the youth they're taking for granted.
L.A.-based comedian Molly Dworsky felt enough nostalgia for her high school years to write a parody of Lorde's hit tune "Royals." Dworsky complains about the cost of healthcare, weight gain and various adult responsibilities.

Most of us would probably take gaining a few pounds and gray hair over going back to high school any day.
A sampling of lyrics:
"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
Let me live that fantasy"

i was in a cab home in nyc and royals came on and i laughed and the driver asked why and i told him it was my song and he said "mine too!"
brisbane lovely people i have food poisoning but didn't want to cancel the show! literally hurled walking offstage lol. i'll be back soon ok
tempted to post on my facebook page asking people if they will give me candy crush lives
i wasn't into that new drake first listen and then heard it in the car today and realized it's so good i feel teary eyed. got next.
i feel like i need a bracelet with WHAT WOULD DRAKE DO engraved on it
i am a slave to the icebreaker sours
i wish i had interesting stuff to tweet but i've been in the studio for like seven weeks now and i'm starting to wear the same clothes even
kind of like when you enjoy a michael bay film and then feel weird
candy canes are beautiful but nasty. i admire this about them
bought a t-shirt with a glow in the dark man on it who appears to be the wizard of pizza
the weirdest lil goth at the one direction concert is meeeee
i am now the happy owner of more than 1000 temporary tattoos
if you haven't read feed, you really should. it'll make you a better person. i read it when i was 8 and had a srs introspective phase though
my friend zac just told me some HIGHLY interesting octopus facts, including how an octopus can fit into a hole the size of an average coin
not allowed to go out tonight because homework, oh man cool
i wish my prom tonight turned into that pigs' blood scene from carrie lol
i dunno how musicians can ever get over looking out onstage and just seeing oceans of people. so humbling always
