Let's be pretentious
|
Be something we're not
|
And we'll jump on the bandwagon
|
Cause we think it is hot
|
And we'll shake our new wave asses
|
It's the thing to do until we can't think or breathe
|
|
Let's be dramatic
|
Prescriptions for pills
|
Then we’ll buy them with our paychecks so we can't pay our bills
|
And we'll sleep until tomorrow ? I'll be dreaming of you
|
Oh yeah
|
|
Let''s be myopic
|
Elitist and smart
|
Gently rehash pop nostalgia into biblical art
|
Preach our genius to the masses til our faces blue
|
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
|
|
I want to drive my car into a wall
|
I want to buy your house just to burn it down
|
Please, let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust
|
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw-ups
|
|
Let's be neurotic
|
Our high and our lows
|
Hire someone who smells famous
|
To tell all of our woes
|
They'll dissect us like we're children attending Sunday school
|
Oh yeah
|
|
Let's be eclectic
|
Won’t graze with the pack
|
You can pierce it with a pin
|
Tattoo its name on your back
|
But you'll never be as different as you wanted to be
|
Oh Yeah oh yeah oh yeah
|
|
I want to drive my car into a wall
|
I want to buy your house just to burn it down
|
Please, let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust
|
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw-ups
|
|
I can’t stop dancing
|
Or running in place
|
A reflection of my failures
|
Are lit up in your face
|
I see friends and I see lovers and my confidants
|
Oh yeah
|
|
Frustrated liars and idiot savants, comforted by our petty torments and our liquor filled haunts
|
If we sleep for 3 tomorrows will we wake up new?
|
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
|
|
I want to drive my car into a wall
|
I want to buy your house just to burn it down
|
And I if I sleep with somebody that I might ever love
|
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw?ups
|
Blame the cruel art of pretension, I'm so screwed up
|
