bring me Jacob Rothschild's head on a silver fucking platter.
lyrics
(verse 1)
give me just one night of pure, unadulterated sleep
no alarms to wake up to and no obligations to keep
give me one fucking day of my life that's all for me
where it's not so hard to remember that i don't owe anyone anything
(pre-chorus)
'cause at eighteen years old you're put on a shelf
forced to sort out your life when you don't know yourself
it's a perfect recipe for existence unfulfilled
yeah, when nobody's satisfied with their new set of "skill"
(chorus)
all my friends are fucked in the head like me
self-referentially
all my friends are unhappy like me
and why shouldn't they be?
(verse 2)
give me just one person over thirty who gives a fuck
about my generation and the fact that we've given up
give me one "real adult" who cares that we're all feeling fucked
i'll sleep till whenever, i hope i sleep forever
oh god, i don't wanna wake up
(pre-chorus)
'cause at twenty-five years old i'd rather be dead
than well-off, but still longing; miserable, but well-fed
yeah, if growing up means giving up on lack of caution
then fuck growing up, man. i'm staying young
(chorus)
(outro)
let's steal the tires off every cop car
feel sheer adolescent glee
burn down all the preconceived notions
of what it means to leave your teens
