Gimme Something Better
I hate my demons they make me cold
And my mind it makes me feel old
I hate this world 'cause it makes me sad
And my privilege makes me feel bad
We were never taught how to feel
It's either nothing at all or it's too much
To deal with
And we're the luckiest in all of time
And don't it just fucking suck
It's just too much for all our minds
Or are we blind?
So how do we survive?
All the other children said
"Have another cigarette
Put your illness to the test
Ditch your red letter"
All the other garbage says
"Settle in your ignorance
Or live life in malcontent"
Gimme something better
Gimme something better, I said
We're too smart to live like this
But equally we're just too dumb to give a shit
Now I'm turning into a nihilist
Is it better to live or just exist?
Oh lord, is there something I missed?
All the other children said
"Have another cigarette
Put your illness to the test
Ditch your red letter"
All the other garbage says
"Settle in your ignorance
Or live life in malcontent"
Gimme something better
All the other kids are dead
Testing out their tolerance
And the magazines all said
"What a trend setter"
Nobody heard what you said
Washed away with decadence
Did the lucky people beg?
"Gimme something better
Gimme something better" they said
He runs outside heads to the door
Just to get away from the noise
It's all just too much to have the people giving up
Telling you you've got no choice
He looks to us for a consensus
But we're just as lost as you
He takes a couple grams
Til he forgets he has no plans
And he says
All the other children say
Turn us into something strange
None of us can die in vain
'Cause we're enfettered
Everyone's so confident
Barely breathing oxygen
Nobody can help you
So pick your new pleasure
All the other kids are dead
Testing out their tolerance
And the magazines all said
"What a trend setter"
Is there nothing more than this?
Do we live as hedonists?
I'm screaming into an abyss
"Gimme something better
Gimme something better
Gimme something better
Gimme something better" I said
And my mind it makes me feel old
I hate this world 'cause it makes me sad
And my privilege makes me feel bad
We were never taught how to feel
It's either nothing at all or it's too much
To deal with
And we're the luckiest in all of time
And don't it just fucking suck
It's just too much for all our minds
Or are we blind?
So how do we survive?
All the other children said
