[Verse 1]
I get up I get down
And I'm jumping around
And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now
Been a hell of a ride
But I'm thinking it's time to grow

Bang! Bang! Bang!

So I got an apartment across from the park
Put quinoa in my fridge
Still I'm not feeling grown
Been a hell of a ride
But I'm thinking it's time to go

Bang! Bang! Bang! (Here we go!)

[Chorus]
So put your best face on everybody
Pretend you know this song everybody
Come hang (Come hang)
Let's go out with a bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[Verse 2]
Feel like I'm gonna puke
'Cause my taxes are due
Do my password begin with a one or a two?
Been a hell of a ride
But I'm thinking it's time to grow

Bang! Bang! Bang! (Metronome!)

Man, I'm up to something
Oo-dee-la-dee-doe
Thank you all for coming
I hope you like the show
'Cause it's on a budget
So ooh-dee-la-dee-doe
Yeah come on here we go
Yeah
Come on, here we go!

[Chorus]
So put your best face on everybody
Pretend you know this song everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try, so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang

Bang! Bang! Bang! (Bang, bang-bang-bang-bang)
Bang! Bang! Bang! (Bang, bang-bang-bang-bang, bang)

[Bridge]
Been a hell of a ride
But I'm thinking it's time to go

So put your best face on everybody
Pretend you know this song everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang! (Here we go!)

So put your best face on everybody
Pretend you know this song everybody
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang!

[Chorus]
I'm way too young to lie here forever
I'm way too old to try so whatever
Come hang
Let's go out with a bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!
(Here we go!) (Bang, bang)

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.
