Lyrics
There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
Wearing their masks of cool and indifference
Commerce dressed up as rebellion
'Cause 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
We can't be hurt
Drink to 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
'Cause we're so handsome (We're so handsome)
And we're so bored (We're so bored)
So entertain us (Entertain us)
Tell me a joke (Tell me a joke)
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel, just make me laugh
We can't be hurt
We can't be hurt
We can't be hurt
So why d'you go picking fights that you'll lose?
(When you have entertainment?)
(When you have things to pass the time?)
So why d'you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
(You can be happy, just play dumb)
(You can be happy, just play dumb)
Well I was brave (And unique)
Intelligent (A snowflake)
I could have been a hero
No one can be trusted under the age of fourteen
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 (Oh)
All my pain and honour is used up (Oh, oh, oh)
All my guns are rusted
So when are you gonna realise (Pop songs)
Those are not your wrongs to right? (Won't change)
Have another line (The government)
Have another drink (The govern-)
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
Uniform
Uniform
There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
