Lyrics

Bourgeois

Darling you never know It started years ago When you're less than kind of done An adolescent singing out real loud Some wild English tune Sing sha la la la la la la La la la la la la la la We'll never talk it out this time You'll learn from all of us When your time's up How it all began Seriously dumb When you're less than kind of certain An adolescent calling out real loud It's what singers do Sing sha la la la la la la La la la la la la la la We'll never talk it out this time You'll learn from all of us When your time's up You bet your life on a cruise ship Bartending crucial lies We're destined, wise and we socialize Bourgeois Why would you care for more? They gave you almost everything You believed almost anything Bourgeois Your fire's a false alarm They gave you almost everything You believed almost anything Darling you'll never know Darling you'll never know When you're less than kind of done Adolescence's looking at you now Like foreign legions do Sing sha la la la la la la La la la la la la la la We'll never talk it out this time You'll learn from all of us When your time's up You lost your mind on a cruise ship Bartending crucial lies We're destined, wise and we socialize Bourgeois Why would you care for more? They gave you almost everything You believed almost anything Bourgeois Your fire's a false alarm They gave you almost everything You believed almost anything
