[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man

[Verse 1: Jack Met]
I used to be distracted by my favorite song
I loved it very much, I made the song my alarm
And now I kind of hate hearing it every morn
Don’t wake up anymore, I don't wanna be bored
I used to be distracted, rolling 'round in the dirt
But recently, I’m thinking 'bout my purpose on Earth
But I don't wanna think about my purpose no more
Because it may come up short
Man, I hate being bored

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I've been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don't make plans
'Cause oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
You don’t even gotta use your brain from here
Just sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

[Post-Chorus]
The entertainment’s here
The entertainment's here

[Verse 2: Jack Met]
I used to be distracted by my burgers and shakes
I’m running out of things that I can do with my day
'Cause I can only eat so many times in a day
Until I'm bored again and I'm stuck in my brain
You wonder what they did before inventing the phone
Yeah, how could anybody face the quiet alone?
I’d rather be in Vegas than my very own home
Yeah, my cash'll be gone, but my mind'll be blown

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Met]
I've been thinking
That too much thinking
Can start me sinking down

[Chorus: Jack Met]
But oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
Everything is suddenly amazing here
Sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Don't make plans
'Cause oh my, oh my God
The entertainment's here
You don't even gotta use your brain from here
Just sit back, man
Relax, man
Sit back, man
Come on, then

[Post-Chorus]
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
The entertainment's here
Yep, yep, yep, yep
The entertainment's here
Yep, yep, yep, yep

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
