[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here

[Verse 1]
This month
I got seven haircuts
And now my hair is all gone
It's sad but
I've been alone for too long
So I keep getting haircuts

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Sorry dear
But you're only going up from here

[Verse 2]
My friends always pay for my drinks
I can't afford no nice things
But I hope my bank account gets so low
Even zero
So next year
When I buy that first beer
I'll be a goddamn hero

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Sorry dear
But you're only going up from here

[Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say

[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here

Bummerland
Here I am
And there ain't no funner land
Bummerland
It's kinda weird
But you're only going up from here

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.
