Lyrics

0:52And irony is okay,
0:54I suppose, culture is to blame
0:57You try and mask your pain
0:59in the most postmodern way
1:02You lack substance when you say
1:05Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
1:08It's just a self-referential way
1:10that stops you having to be human
1:13I'm assuming you'll balloon
1:15when you remove the dirty spoon
1:18And start consuming like a human,
1:21that's what I am assuming
1:24I'm sure that you're not just another girl
1:29I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist
1:34I feel like you're running out
1:37of all the things I liked you for
1:43Why can't we be friends,
1:47when we are lovers?
1:49'Cause it always ends with us
1:51hating each other
1:54Instead of calling me out,
1:57you should be pulling me in
1:59I've just got one more thing to say
2:06And why would you believe
2:08You could control how you're perceived
2:11When at your best you're intermediately
2:14Versed in your own feelings?
2:16Keep on putting off conceiving
2:18It's only you that you're deceiving
2:21Oh, don't have a child,
2:23don't cramp your style, I'll leave it
2:25Why can't we be friends,
2:28when we are lovers?
2:31'Cause it always ends
2:33with us hating each other
2:36Instead of calling me out,
2:38you should be pulling me in
2:41I've just got one more thing to say
2:48I'm just pissed off
2:50because you pied me off
2:53After your show when you
2:58let go of my hand
3:01In front of some sket
3:05who wanted to b*tch
And irony is okay,
I suppose, culture is to blame
You try and mask your pain
in the most postmodern way
You lack substance when you say
Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
It's just a self-referential way
that stops you having to be human
I'm assuming you'll balloon
when you remove the dirty spoon
And start consuming like a human,
that's what I am assuming
I'm sure that you're not just another girl
I'm sure that you're gonna say that I was sexist
I feel like you're running out
of all the things I liked you for
Why can't we be friends,
when we are lovers?
'Cause it always ends with us
hating each other
Instead of calling me out,
you should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say
And why would you believe
You could control how you're perceived
When at your best you're intermediately
Versed in your own feelings?
Keep on putting off conceiving
It's only you that you're deceiving
Oh, don't have a child,
don't cramp your style, I'll leave it
Why can't we be friends,
when we are lovers?
'Cause it always ends
with us hating each other
Instead of calling me out,
you should be pulling me in
I've just got one more thing to say
I'm just pissed off
because you pied me off
After your show when you
let go of my hand
In front of some sket
who wanted to b*tch
