[Verse 1]
I'm aware there is a world that
Outside of my window, my window
When I reach out to touch it
It shrinks away, away from me
These days, I'm never angry
Only ever bored, find me
The next craze, special occasion
Next great party, nothing
Ever touches me
[Verse 2]
At the Les Trois Garçons
We meet at precisely 9 o'clock
I order the foie gras
And I eat it with complete disdain
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes
But when we kiss, I feel nothing
Feasting on Xanax
And Marlboro Reds
(Self-pity won't save you)
[Chorus]
Oh, how our parents
They suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the '80s never happened
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway
These days, I'm only bored
[Verse 3]
And we stroll past the queue
Into the magazine launch party
I am handed a pill
And I swallow with complete disdain
Bass drum hands and high hi-hats
We make sure to look bored
We suck each other's face
And make sure we are noticed
(The cocaine won't save you)
[Chorus]
Oh, how our parents
They suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the '80s never happened
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway
These days, I'm only bored
[Bridge]
[?]
Because East London is a vampire
It sucks the joy right out of me
How we long for corruption
In these golden years
[Chorus]
Oh, how our parents
They suffered for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the '80s never happened
People are afraid, are afraid
To merge on the freeway
These days, I'm only bored
