Haussmann Waltz
I'm sorry that I'm here
I'm sorry that I came at all
Endangered on the stage
Who died and made you Jane Goodall
No need to scream about it
I'm just taking the piss, love
Are indie bands too scared to rock
Yeah, too scared to even pick up the phone
Too busy vibin'
Popping beta blockers sitting at home
Jesters tend to lead
And leaders tend to be unjust
So why we busy lecturing
People who agree with us
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
I'm sorry but you're bumming me out
I was born to be bad
Washed out guitars
It's not interesting to only be sad
Don't fall for their shtick
They all have rich parents
Life's a highway and NY Times alerts
Are giving you hives
Fake a funny face before the bombs go
Splat on your drive
Feel free to scream about it
Don't the shoot the messenger though
But feeling sorry for yourself all the time
Or that rug have to go
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
What's the use in putting out a world that they're fine seeing burn
When they ignore the youth drop a Han Dynasty Urn
When all the kids are making same-y washed out tracks
And only 15% have the will to get up and actually act
What's the use in blowing out a world that they're fine seeing burn
When they ignore the youth drop a Han Dynasty Urn
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
I'm sorry that I came at all
Endangered on the stage
Who died and made you Jane Goodall
No need to scream about it
I'm just taking the piss, love
Are indie bands too scared to rock
Yeah, too scared to even pick up the phone
Too busy vibin'
Popping beta blockers sitting at home
Jesters tend to lead
And leaders tend to be unjust
So why we busy lecturing
People who agree with us
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
I'm sorry but you're bumming me out
I was born to be bad
Washed out guitars
It's not interesting to only be sad
Don't fall for their shtick
They all have rich parents
Life's a highway and NY Times alerts
Are giving you hives
Fake a funny face before the bombs go
Splat on your drive
Feel free to scream about it
Don't the shoot the messenger though
But feeling sorry for yourself all the time
Or that rug have to go
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
What's the use in putting out a world that they're fine seeing burn
When they ignore the youth drop a Han Dynasty Urn
When all the kids are making same-y washed out tracks
And only 15% have the will to get up and actually act
What's the use in blowing out a world that they're fine seeing burn
When they ignore the youth drop a Han Dynasty Urn
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important
Is it a crime to be self important anyway
