LYRICS:
THE EXPOSÉTELL ME JUST HOW I'M TO THINK AND LOOK AND ACT
YOUR OPINION ISN'T FACT
WORK AND SHOWS AND ON THE STREET
SET THE STANDARDS I'M TO MEET
AND THERE'S TOO MANY SIMILARITIES
AND I THINK THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THEM AT ALL
TOO USED TO BEING TOLD YOU'RE RIGHT
BUT YOU'RE NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU ARE
POINT ME OUT AND I DON'T CARE
ALL YOU ARE IS CLOTHES AND HAIR
SMIRK AND LAUGH AND TALK YOUR SHIT
WE BOTH KNOW YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE
IS IT GETTING HARDER TO MAINTAIN YOUR COMPOSURE?
IF YOU AND THE REST THINK I'M WRONG
THEN I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT
I'LL STILL BE FUCKING UP AND LOSING
WHEN YOU GET ON WITH YOUR PERFECT LIFE
AND IN YOUR EYES I WAS BORN A LOSER
AND IN YOUR EYES I WILL DIE ONE TOO
BUT WHEN YOU CRACK AND YOU'RE FULLY EXPOSED
I'LL BE THE ONE SMIRKING AND LAUGHING AT YOU
START SMOKING AT 24EVERY DAY I WALK THESE STREETS
ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO IS SHOP AND EAT
PEOPLE PASS ON THEIR WAY TO SOMEWHERE
FRIENDLY OR HOSTILE, EITHER WAY THEY DON'T CARE
THE SUN IS OUT BUT THERE'S NO FUN IN SIGHT
NOTHING WILL CHANGE WHEN THE DAY TURNS TO NIGHT
ALONE AGAIN AS EVERYONE ROTS IN BARS
REMEMBER WHEN THESE DAYS AND NIGHTS WERE ALL OURS?
"I GOT IT ALL" SAYS THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE
BUT MONDAY MORNING YOU'LL GO BACK TO THE RACE
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS IS HOW I'D EXIST
WERE MY FORMATIVE YEARS ALL JUST FOR THIS?
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
STAYING BACKWARDS AND STICKING TO YOUR GUNS
YOU SAY YOU'RE OVER IT BUT YOU'RE STILL IMMATURE
YOU'RE DRESSING NICER BUT YOU'RE STILL INSECURE
YOU TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS
AND NOT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH IN THE WAYS MAYBE YOU SHOULD
YOU USED TO CARE ABOUT WHAT MATTERED
AND LAUGH OFF WHAT DIDN'T
BUT NOW YOU HAVE THIS BACKWARDS
NOTHING LEFT TO REBEL AGAINST
EXCEPT YOUR FORMER SELF
THOSE STILL SINCERE ARE YOUR SCAPEGOAT
FROM YELLING "SMASH THE STATE" TO TELLING RAPE JOKES
I KNOW OUR IDEALS DIDN'T TURN OUT HOW WE'D PLANNED
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT HAPPENED AND WHERE WE CAN GO FROM HERE
INSTEAD OF CHALKING ANOTHER WASTED YEAR
AT THE END OF THE DAYI LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW
LIGHTS ARE ON PEOPLE ARE SMILING
THEY LOOK PRETTY HAPPY
AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE HAVING FUN THAT I DON'T HAVE
AND MAYBE I SECRETLY WANT WHAT THEY HAVE
BUT I'M NOT GONNA SETTLE
SO I JUST FOLD MY ARMS AND KEEP WALKING
THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN TO
AT THE END OF THE DAY
YOU THINK YOU GOT IT ALL
WITH YOUR HOME
AND YOUR SOCIAL LIFE
AND YOUR SELF SATISFACTION
BUT YOU'LL ONLY BE RUNNING
AT THE END OF THE DAY
EMOTIONAL INDEPENDENCE
IS COLD COMFORT FOR LIVING IN ISOLATION
DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS TO LEAVE OR DIE
WHEN YOURS DO I'LL BE ONE STEP AHEAD
YOU CAN'T EVEN GO BACKWARDS
AT THE END OF THE DAY
I LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW
LIGHTS ARE ON PEOPLE ARE SMILING
THAT’S NOT MY LIFE AND I’M NOT GONNA BOTHER
I’M BETTER OFF AS I AM
LOSE YOUR MINDEVERYONE YOU’RE TRYING TO IMPRESS
HAS ALREADY GOT IT OUT FOR YOU
A STUPID GAME YOU’VE ALREADY LOST
YOU’VE ALREADY GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
LOSE YOUR MIND
“THEY LAUGH AT YOU, YOU STIL BUY MORE”
WHEN WILL YOU REALIZE?
TAKE YOUR PERSONALITY BACK
AND GIVE THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE
GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
YOU’RE REALLY THE ONE IN CONTROL
IF THEIR LIVES ARE VAPID ENOUGH
TO BE SO CONCERNED WITH YOURS
DO EVERYTHING THEY’RE AFRAID OF
DO EVERYTHING THEY’RE AFRAID TO DO
YOU’RE NOT EMBARRASSING YOURSELF
YOU’RE JUST BEING YOURSELF
WITH THEM OFF YOUR BACK
TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK
ARGUMENT FROM IGNORANCEYOU SAY YOU'VE GOT NEW IDEAS
I SEE DENIAL OF FACTS
REFUTED IDEAS REINVENTED
TO GET RELIGION INTO SCIENCE CLASS
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "CREATION SCIENCE"
YOU JUST FUCKING MADE IT UP
STRIPPED RELIGIOUS LANGUAGE TO GET AROUND COURT RULINGS
BUT THE "DESIGNER" IS STILL THE ABRAHAMIC GOD
YOU SAY YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME ANSWERS
YOU SAY YOU CAN CLOSE THE GAPS
BUT WHAT'S BEEN DOING THAT IS SCIENCE
FOR FAR LONGER THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS
(AND YOU WERE ALREADY WRONG ABOUT THE SUN)
YOU MUST BE FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE
OR JUST REALLY GOOD AT MANIPULATION
I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
NO BASIS FOR YOUR DENIAL OF EVOLUTION
BUT MICROEVOLUTION IS OK
OR ANY OTHER KIND OF SCIENCE
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT CONTRADICTED IN THE BIBLE
GO BACK TO YOUR FUCKING CAVE
NOT IMPORTANTSELF APPOINTED TASTEMAKER
NEITHER MOVER NOR A SHAKER
NO OBJECTIVE CLARITY
WHEN YOU'RE SEEKING POPULARITY
YOU DON'T COUNT
DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND
YOU'RE EITHER OUT OR FOR
BUT WHERE WOULD YOU HAVE FALLEN
EVEN JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS BEFORE?
YOU SAY IT SUCKS
YOU SAY IT'S SHIT
SO WE'RE GONNA FLOOD THE MARKET
YOU COMPLAIN IT ALL SUCKS
YOU COMPLAIN YOU'RE BORED
IT NEVER CROSSED YOUR MIND THAT YOU'RE SO EASILY IGNORED
M.Y.O.F.GET IN THE VAN, JUMP IN THE LAKE
WE’RE STILL YOUNG SO DON’T LET THIS TIME GO TO WASTE
INSTEAD OF BOOZING AND POSING, WASTING TIME AND MONEY
FEEBLY REHASHING WHAT ALREADY HAPPENED
IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF BEING YOUNG
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG
IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF HAVING FUN
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG
I DON’T WANT TO GET DRUNK AT DOLORES PARK
I DON’T NEED TO GET LAID TO KNOW I’M OK
I JUST WANT TO SWIM, EXPLORE, AND RIDE MY BIKE
AND I DON’T CARE IF I LOOK GOOD DOING IT OR NOT
LOSE YOUR LEATHER, STOMP ON YOUR SHADES
DITCH THE BOTTLE FOR A NIGHT, I PROMISE IT’LL BE OK
IF THAT CAN’T EVEN HAPPEN, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
AND I DON’T KNOW WHY I BOTHERED IN THE FIRST PLACE
TRY AGAINUSE THAT GIRL USE THAT BLOW
YOU'RE WORTHLESS AND I KNOW YOU KNOW
TAKE IT OUT ON YOURSELF
DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON ME
YOU'LL NEVER MASK THAT YOU'RE A MESS OF INSECURITY
KEEP IT UP
KEEP IT UP
SNIFF AND FUCK AND SUCK IT
KEEP IT UP
KEEP IT UP
UNTIL YOU KICK THE BUCKET
DID TOO MUCH AND DIDN'T DIE
GO ON GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY
END UP IN AN E.R. BED
I'LL LAUGH MY ASS OFF WHEN YOU'RE DEAD
USED TO BE A WOMANIZING HEDONISTIC TOOL
NOW YOU'RE LYING BLUE-FACED IN A MESS OF YOUR OWN STOOL
