Lyrics:
Oh in my head
You said with certainty
I may be the dumbest person
That you’ve ever seen
You think you’re hurting me
Betcha won’t believe it
But you kinda set me free

You’ve mentioned Adderall
Slip this guy a sedative
He’s bouncing off the wall
Honey it’s no big deal
We’ll getcha back to college
You could study something real
So if that’s how you feel

When we go down
When kingdom come
Don’t look at me
Don’t look at me
I’m just too dumb
I’d love to stay
But like you said
Don’t look at me
Cause I got nothing in my head
Oh in my head

Too dumb for breaking up
I’d do it in person
But I’d probably mess it up
I’ll text you, that’s enough
That’s how empty-headed people
Get through shitty stuff

Your world is ending soon
Mine’s a little better cause
I never watch the news
You make my lunch today
I would do it
But I couldn’t work my microwave
So if that’s what you’re saying

When we go down
When kingdom come
Don’t look at me
Don’t look at me
I’m just too dumb
I’d love to stay
But like you said
Don’t look at me
Cause I got nothing in my head
Oh in my head

(You should not have done that)

When we go down
When kingdom come
Don’t look at me
Don’t look at me
I’m much too dumb
I’d love to stay
But like you said
Don’t look at me
Cause I got nothing in my head
Oh in my head
Oh in my head

When we go down
When kingdom come
Don’t look at me
Don’t look at me
I’m just too dumb

One of my biggest inspirations in music today. Excellent work!

[ATGM_Main]

I actually really like how they put the story of the song instead of a regular music video, it really gives the song more depth and shows just how much effort is put into the songs

[Waylonwars]

AJR is the kind of band whos music is known by everybody but only 1% of those people actually know the band. They are underated af

To the future person reading this.
If you have found this song and love it, I’ll let you know something.
AJR has gotten me thru hard times, and I hope that they have helped you, and I hope you can make this song uplift you and make you happy.
Just like how every song of theirs has done for me. Be safe out there, and let music guide you on your journey.

I hate concerts but I loved this band so much that I went and was blown away. Seriously, fantastic.

[Giovanni_Pesci]

Honestly this is one of my favorite music videos from them. Instead of recording a music video like they usually did, they showed the process and all the countless time they spent making sure this song was perfect, and indeed it is. AJR makes such amazing music and it’s things like this that make me aspire to be like them. Thank you AJR for giving me the inspiration to start creating myself, maybe I’ll become great one day too.

[yeeeyey]

Just four words:


Never stop making music.

I am one of your fans who really likes your songs in Korea.
Until recently, I was suffering from panic disorder and anxiety disorder.
But listening to your song and reading the lyrics, I was very comforted and touched.
Whenever I was afraid and in pain to see people, I endured it with your songs, and this time I courageously went to the Seoul Jazz Festival to listen to your song. It was so hard for me and I was always afraid But your song made me hold out. Thank you so much and I'll enjoy this concert.
I always feel grateful. the fact that I can hear your song

[cecedaniele]

This is what is so different about AJR, they such genuine authenticity. I am in such admiration for their willingness to be open with their fan base and tell them exactly what goes into such deep hitting songs.

[Awindow]

Ajr is iconic, they just stand out differently among all other bands their music vibes is so good

[debeluhar]

I never heard of AJR before, but this month I went to Imagine Dragons concert, and AJR were opening for them. As soon as I heard their songs, I immediately fell in love with them. Now I can't stop listening to their songs.

[artninja]

I can't see how people can hate on AJR, they're just fun, hardworking guys who can make awesome music while barley affording a studio. Absolutely love them ❤ seeing their writing process is a treat

[SilverFoxRacing]

The way AJR put recordings of the behind the scenes rather than a typical choreography of a music video made this song even more special. Thank you AJR for this banger, for sure this will be on loop for hours!

[ghostlytavern]

You’d think that after all these years AJR’s music would get repetitive or lose its charm but it never does, every song yall drop feels like it speaks straight to me. You have to stop making such good songs I can’t pick a fav!! I love it when I can hear pasts melodies in new music! Never stop following your dreams guys you won’t ever be forgotten your music will last forever

[rivershade_wcue]

I love how your neighbor said the “You should not of done that!” just so awesome.

[averywho]

It's such a breath of fresh air to see new and original music from genuine people who just love to create stuff. AJR is simply amazing!

[green-lightcreations]

The thought and detail that goes into every second of their songs is truly amazing! AJR is exceeding the limits of music!

[barryjohn]

As someone who grew up during the Beatles years, I have enjoyed many musical styles. I really began paying attention to AJR when I heard World's Smallest Violin, which quickly became one of my favorite songs. The Dumb Song simply blew me away. I love everything about it! The uptempo beat, fabulous drums, melody, vocals, arrangement - all superbly done. I can't get this song out of my head. One of my all-time favorites, for sure!

[Sofia]

I don’t know how people could hate AJR❤ he’s my big inspiration 😌

[Silverx]

Leave it to AJR to make the happiest, vibiest music about literally anything! Love these guys!
