Out on the Weekend - Gentrification of White Converses Lyrics

A fading flicker of light as some fake punk tries to be convincing
That all of life is too hard and we deserve it all
I find that hard to believe

They're yelling into a microphone and wearing spikes and leather
But i don't really think it's working
Cause last week I saw a prep school girl in white converses
And my doctor's wearing doc martens

You say you're looking for something to believe in
I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say

I'm moving in reverse back to my house as cars zip by the other way
I think I'm feeling sick from everything I read
I've been jaded since I was 23

Maybe it's from all the trophies I just got for trying
They're in a box gathering dust just like yours
I've never really had to work that hard
God I've never really worked that hard

You say you're looking for something to believe in
I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say
We've had everything we've ever needed for all our lives
But we're still not satisfied
So I'll drink until I become another person
And I'll regret this more in the morning
I'm still not working very hard
God I've never really worked that hard

You say you're looking for something to believe in
I wouldn't listen to a word I have to say
You say you're looking for something to believe in
I wouldn't listen to a word I f*cking say
