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

'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

We can't be hurt

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)

Well I was brave (and unique), intelligent (a snowflake)

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

(Oh!)

All my pain and honour is used up

(Oh! Oh! Oh!)

All my guns are rusted

So when you gonna realise

Those are not your wrongs to right?

Have another line, have another drink

I am a martyr, I just need a motive

I am a martyr, I just need a cause

I'm a believer, I just need a moment

I'm a believer, I just need a cause

We're finding it hard to break the mould

We're finding it hard to be alone

We're finding it hard to ... ourselves

We have nothing at all to say

Uniform
