Scarling - Art Of Pretension lyrics

rate me

Let's be pretentious<br />

Be something we're not<br />

And we'll jump on the bandwagon<br />

Cause we think it is hot<br />

And we'll shake our new wave asses<br />

It's the thing to do until we can't think or breathe<br />

<br />

Let's be dramatic<br />

Prescriptions for pills<br />

Then we'll buy them with our paychecks so we can't pay our bills<br />

And we'll sleep until tomorrow – I'll be dreaming of you<br />

Oh yeah<br />

<br />

Let''s be myopic<br />

Elitist and smart<br />

Gently rehash pop nostalgia into biblical art<br />

Preach our genius to the masses til our faces blue<br />

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah<br />

<br />

I want to drive my car into a wall<br />

I want to buy your house just to burn it down<br />

Please, let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust<br />

Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw-ups<br />

<br />

Let's be neurotic<br />

Our high and our lows<br />

Hire someone who smells famous<br />

To tell all of our woes<br />

They'll dissect us like we're children attending Sunday school<br />

Oh yeah<br />

<br />

Let's be eclectic<br />

Won't graze with the pack<br />

You can pierce it with a pin<br />

Tattoo it's name on your back<br />

But you'll never be as different as you wanted to be<br />

Oh Yeah oh yeah oh yeah<br />

<br />

I want to drive my car into a wall<br />

I want to buy your house just to burn it down<br />

Please, let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust<br />

Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw-ups<br />

<br />

I can't stop dancing<br />

Or running in place<br />

A reflection of my failures<br />

Are lit up in your face<br />

I see friends and I see lovers and my confidants<br />

Oh yeah<br />

<br />

Frustrated liars and idiot savants, comforted by our petty torments and our liquor filled haunts<br />

If we sleep for 3 tomorrows will we wake up new?<br />

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah<br />

<br />

I want to drive my car into a wall<br />

I want to buy your house just to burn it down<br />

And I if I sleep with somebody that I might ever love<br />

Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screw–ups<br />

Blame the cruel art of pretension, I'm so screwed up
