Paramore: Ain't It Fun [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Directed by Sophia Peer

LYRICS
I don't mind letting you down easy
But just give it time
If it don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while

You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?

Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good being all alone

Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell to get what you want

See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble

So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do when nobody wants to fool with you?

Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good being all alone

Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun living in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world

Ain't it fun
Baby, now you're one of us

Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good, ain't it good being all alone

Ain't it fun living in the real world
(Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it good being all alone

Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world

I love how sarcastic this song is. Like it’s so uptempo and sounds like a nice happy song about growing up and wanting to be an adult. Until you actually grow up and realize that this song is actually talking about how much reality hits hard and the world is such a hard place to handle and you wish you were a kid again... *sigh*

[skyandmoonlight]

Ive met her once, I couldn’t believe it was her for real! She’s so nice, (she came at the restaurant i was working for in Brooklyn NYC) I offered her a dessert and left her a note “thank you for the music i love you” she actually saved that piece of paper in her phone case and i saw it months after in one of her selfies in front of the mirror, she still had it ❤️

[Mr.Pallanza]

*_“Ain’t it fun, living in the real world?”_*

Me, stuck working from home, middle of the year 2020: *_"...Yeah, could be worse."_*

"𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘢. '𝘊𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥"

I just realized today how painful the lyrics to this song now that you're gone. I really miss you, Mama.

[akm]

This song scares me and excites me at the same time

[nikkoleeful]

I lost my mom in 2020 I remember playing this song in car with her. She looked at me and laughed she said “pay attention, this is the real world, I won’t be here forever” I cried so hard when I heard this song after she passed cause I can still her smug smiling face looking at me and her words echoing in the back of my head, I had to pull over to “get my shit together and get my ass in gear” as she would always say. I love this song and I love my mom. RIP 🕊

25 and this song still makes me cry. Being an adult is so hard, you never know what you’re doing, no one has the answers. You’re always one bad decision from having to start from nothing all over again.

[ajlemuel]

I cant believe this song is now a decade old, it feels so fresh to me. Like it was made recently, time flew.

[chottomatte]

Hayley: Don't go crying to your mama coz you're on your own in the real world
Me: *cries harder*

[jenelynmahadi]

when you're vibing but the lyrics hits hard.

[KenLara-wk]

Let’s be honest this song still hits 2024 🕺 😎

[Asher]

Most of us jammed to this as kids and teens. Now most of us are adults and it is just slapping us in the face with the lyrics hahahahaha it still ROCKS tho

[simbamorello]

This song was the anthem that kept me & my sister motivated to escape a terrible situation

[AlexandrBorschchev]

Timeless song. This will be a classic of 2010s.

[stvivianne]

"Don't go cryin' to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world"
True, but painful. The nostalgia in this song is PAINFUL

[SonPan]

Paramore won a grammy and pissed off all the rock music elitists.
Today is a good day.

[winnercirclekangkimsonglee]

Aint It Fun's lyrics are so wise.

Example: "It's so easy to ignore trouble when you're living in a bubble"

[alexiswright]

This song came out when I was 16 and I had no bills. My mom passed away when I was 22. So with that and adulting, these lyrics make me cry sometimes.

[josephc]

Wow life and adulthood has been so overwhelming lately, but when I listen to this song, I am reminded that it is a universal feeling we all experience. Ain’t it fun to all be on this journey together? If you are reading this, I am sending you all the love and positive vibes - and I hope you conclude your days with a smile on your face.

[blackberry]

I cannot believe I was jamming this to school in elementary, not knowing the real meaning of the lyrics. It’s really sad :/
