lyrics

A cool kid in a cool car careens down the street, with a cigarette in between his teeth.
Aimlessly appropriated attire adorns his skin; is there anything beneath?

I could never be that guy,

Punk promises empowered him to believe in change; only jet black hair remains.
Anarchy assimilated into American pop; and the capitalists stand to gain!

I could never be that guy,
wandering—not wondering why.
Or could I?

History is over! The world is standing still!
History is over! The world is standing still!

Simple and shallow songs sung over two chords can never mean anything.
Simple and shallow songs sung over two chords can never change anything.


I could never be that guy,
wandering—not wondering why.
Or could I?
