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
So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
When you have entertained them. When you have things to pass the time
So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
You can be happy just playing dumb. You can be happy just playing dumb
I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen
Tattoo our arms Converse shoes, cynical?
We tell ourselves we're different
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
not you
