everthere

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people look the same
Wearing their masks of cool and indifference
Commerce dressed up as rebellion

Because we're so handsome and we're so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel, just make me laugh
We can't be hurt

Did you forget your blues on the weekend
Think about more things to buy
The TV taught me how to sulk and love nothing
And how to grow my hair long

So why do you go picking fights that you will lose?
(When you have entertainment, when you have things to pass the time)
So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb)
Well I was brave
And unique
Intelligent
A snow flake
I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted under the age of 14
Tattoo our arms
Converse shoes
Cynical
But we still do it
We tell ourselves we're different
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
All, all my pain and honour is used up
All, all my guns are rusted
So when are you going to realise those are not your wrongs to right
Have another life, have another drink
(Pop songs won't change the government)

I am a martyr I just need a motive
I am a martyr I just need a cause
I'm a believer I just need a moment
I'm a believer I just need a cause
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We're finding it hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves
We have nothing at all to say
Uniform
