We dumb smart kids got guts; we're buying in without selling out
And we're great at parties
Misplaced-aggression chic, or ill-read rebel's grief, we've got our weapons
We've made a lifetime of wearing our comfort on tattered sleeve
I'll buy you everything baby, that's the way I show you my dissent
I spent all my cash on you, got nothing left
We mock the tags we were at our subculture fairs; and we fight from checkout tills
Hot, well dressed and dumb disposable income with a knack for abstraction
We've made a lifetime of wearing our comfort on tattered sleeve
I'll buy you everything babe, that's the way I'll show you my dissent
I spent all my time with you, and we're singing
I don't care about the state of the world today
We'll drown, but damn won't we look good
I don't care about the fate of youth anyway
It's for the buying, looks as good as trying
I don't care about the state of the world today
I don't care
'Cause we don't know better
We live with blinders on
Our memory nearly gone
We get new fall-line chills
Dissent and dollar bills!
What do we see, what do we do?
We've made a lifetime wearing our comfort on tattered sleeve
I'll buy you everything baby, that's the way I show you my dissent
I spent my cash on you, got nothing left
