lyrics

Put down your phone as I speak to
All the weakness that befell you
Recall a time when men were men
And I'd say the rest, but I bet you'd have me
Lynched in the public square, for merely
Sharing my opinion and I
Can't abide this state of mind
Where no one feels like they need to die

Or try to change themselves
To be happy
Or lie about themselves
To be happy

Your values upheld
Will send us straight to hell
And your music is loud
And your movies can't tell
A coherent story
Without guns and sex and mayhem
And our generation
Knew how to treat women

You all think you know what's funny
Well, we invented irony
So maybe let us tell our jokes without
Offending your sensitivities
You all went soft and it makes me sick
You're all unemployed and I wonder why
A tight fifteen on chicks with dicks
And suddenly, I'm the bad guy

Well
I try
No
I don't wonder why

Your skin is just so thin
There's no way for us to win
Unless we give in
To the ultimate sin
The fault with our economy
It's pretty plain to see
Since America was founded
Back in 1993

I look around at all my peers
And I wish I were born before my time
The music I like you all laugh at
The music you like doesn't even rhyme
And all the girls at school don't care
Because they're busy fixing their hair
I lost the culture war, scorned
Before I was even born

And it's why I
Don't give a shit
Because you all
Still don't get it

I yearn for the days before
Civility took to the sea
My dad says it was better
And he wouldn't lie to me
It sounds like Nirvana
The myth, not the band
Have you heard of The Pixies?
Or are you one of them?
