Stupid (Young, Dumb, And Full of Dreams)

Kevin Froleiks

I was 13 when I first saw Comedy Central
Premium Blend and old SNL
Friday nights I′d watch every half hour specialAnd thought someday I might be on that stage as well

Cut to college, I'm 19, yeah I′m a sophomore
In a sketch group that my friends and I had formed
Every night we'd write a million jokes and bits
While getting wasted in our dorm
Thought we would take the world by storm

God we were so fucking stupid
Yeah we were so fucking stupid yeah
Well we were young (we were young)
And we were dumb (we were dumb)
And we were oh so full of dreams (dreams)
And we were so fucking stupid

By junior year writing jokes was my obsession
I'd stay up late until my pen was out of ink
For the first time I felt like I had something special
Excited every day
Thought that would never go away

Man I was so fucking stupid
Yeah I was so fucking stupid yeah
Well I was young (I was young)
And I was dumb (I was dumb)
And I was positively covered in dreams (dreams)
And I was so fucking stupid

I had direction, I was really on fire
I thought that we′d be the greatest comedy group in the entire world
Yeah we were closer than any sisters or brothers
And half of us ended up dating half the others
We were always together
Just a goofy group of friends
Before I knew it, it would all come to an end

My senior year as graduation was approaching
No real plans for what I′d do after that
The only thing that gave me any sense of meaning
Was writing pages upon pages of sketches every evening

Second semester, a cold night in January
I went to a dive bar open mic
I got on stage and I did 5 minutes of stand up
And I knew right away that
This was really where it's at
It felt inevitable
I′d be on Comedy Central

God that was so fucking stupid
Yeah that was absofuckly stupid yeah
When I was young (I was young)
And I was dumb (I was dumb)
And I was choking on a big load of dreams (dreams)
And I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid
I was so fucking stupid

I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
I was so fucking stupid
(So fucking stupid)
