lyrics

Everyone my age is having a mental crisis
From the unemployment and the petrol prices
And now we're all depressed and I guess in debt
And now I'm taking pills just to ease the stress

Being in this country makes me uglier
Like I am losing touch with who I was before
And every word it weighs heavy on my shoulders
The weight is getting heavier as I get older

Everyone my age has got a stone to throw
Guess I am the one they come to when their feeling low
And we all just fight each other cause it's easier to hurt a person that you've never met before
And who cares if I never have to see your face
Or the way your body sinks when I beat your name

Everyone my age thinks they'll be famous soon
Guess that’s how you get by when you always lose
I guess were activists just for showing our faces
And telling everyone how were completely shameless

Everyone my age thinks they'll be famous soon

The sound of a great band finding their voice. I love these songs, they did some things that they probably wouldn't do now. Jack Kitzerow
