Well I could bore you with a truth About an uneventful youth So you could get that wrap from someone else And I could make an observation If you want the voice of the generation But I'm too self-absorbed to give it clout And I, I don't really care about Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out 'Cause when you're young and bored at 24 And you don't know who you are no more There's no hope and it's hard to come of age I think it's a problem 'Cause they never go away I know I am so self-obsessed I guess but there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase I grow Well I could look for inspiration Find it in the job of an English nation But wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed And I could bet you don't believe me If I said it came from deep within me But I promise you I'm telling you the truth And I, I don't really care about Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out 'Cause when you're 24 and young and bored And don't know who you are no more There's no hope and it's hard to come of age I think it's a problem 'Cause they never go away I know I am so self-obsessed I guess but there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase I grow Well I wish I was comfortable in my own skin But the whole thing feels like an exercise And trying to be someone I would rather not be I tried to second guess if you would be approving I find my life ever so moving Keen, wide-eyed and unassuming Oh (okay) There is no hope but there's desperately No hope but there's definitely No hope if you don't believe me Oooh Yeah, there is no hope but there's desperately No hope but there's definitely No hope if you don't believe me Oooh but I, I don't really care about Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out 'Cause when you're 24 and young and bored And don't know who you are no more There's no hope and it's hard to come of age I think it's a problem 'Cause they never go away I know I am so self-obsessed I guess but there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase I grow There is no hope I know it's a problem But they never goes my way I know I am so self-obsessed I guess but there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase Well, I grow
