          The song was featured in the music video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and in a recut, PG-13 version of titled Once Upon a Deadpool. The song played a large role in a Saturday Night Live skit on March 10, 2018, with Sterling K. Brown in which the lyrics are a dying woman's final words.

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
 
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
 
It's not like you to say "Sorry"
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
 
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "Are we having fun yet?"
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
 
It's not like you didn't know that
I said, "I love you, " and I swear, I still do
And it must have been so bad
'Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
 
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
 
It's not like you to say "Sorry"
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
 
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "Are we having fun yet?"
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
 
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
 
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
 
It's not like you to say "Sorry"
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
 
And I've been wrong, I've been down
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "Are we having fun yet?"
 
Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?
 
Yeah, yeah
No, no!
