about

The song is an observation of what youth of America is currently experiencing. Intended not to give an opinion rather bluntly state the obvious. The youth are the product of their surroundings.

lyrics

And I wear depression on a shirt
Laugh so hard to make me hurt
We were better off when we both were broke
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
I know they like to make me feel insane
They like to feed me drugs for made-up pain
You’ll get smoked out if you get too close
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

We can lose our lives on a shopping spree
Can’t cure our cancer, my health ain’t free
The world is heating up I’m told it’s make-believe
I tell them over and over again

Take my chances on fake romances
And I’ll cut my teeth with the latest fashion
Drown these voices with a drinking habit
I’m young, yeah I’m young
Got the talent without the passion
And I got questions no one is asking
Don’t know what they got til we vanish
We’re young, yeah, we’re young

Dollars down but my ass is up
If you never try you’re never fucked
Grew apart the day we didn’t call
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
I know that my security is drained
I know that truth and facts are not the same
It ain’t terror if they storm the halls
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

We can lose our lives on a shopping spree
Can’t cure our cancer, my health ain’t free
The world is heating up I’m told it’s make-believe
I tell them over and over again

Take my chances on fake romances
And I’ll cut my teeth with the latest fashion
Drown these voices with a drinking habit
I’m young, yeah I’m young
Got the talent without the passion
And I got questions no one is asking
Don’t know what they got til we vanish
We’re young, yeah, we’re young

I am full of dread
I can’t take the pain
What’s it like to be dead?
Are you even listening?

I am full of lead
You forgot my name
What’s it like to be dead?
Are you even listening?

We can lose our lives on a shopping spree
Can’t cure our cancer, my health ain’t free
The world is heating up I’m told it’s make-believe
I tell them over and over again

Take my chances on fake romances
And I’ll cut my teeth with the latest fashion
Drown these voices with a drinking habit
I’m young, yeah I’m young
Got the talent without the passion
And I got questions no one is asking
Don’t know what they got til we vanish
We’re young, yeah, we’re young
