Bloc Party - Uniform

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall All the young people looked the same Wearing their masks of cool and disinterest Commerce dressed up as rebellion Because we are so handsome and we are so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last forever Make it cruel just make me laugh We can't be hurt Drink to forget your blues on the weekend Think about more things to buy The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing And how to grow my hair long So why do you go picking fights that you will lose? (When u have entertainment, when give you things to pass the time) So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you? (You can be happy, just play dumb x2) Well I was brave And unique, Intelligent, A snowflake I could have been a hero No-one can be trusted over the age of 14 Tattoo our arms Converse shoes Cynical But we still do it We tell ourselves that we're different I've gotten so good at lying to myself All, all my pain and honour is used up All my guns are rusted So when are you going to realise those are not your wrongs to right Have another line, have another drink (Pop songs won’t change the government) I am a martyr I just need a motive I am a martyr I just need a cause I'm a believer I just need to a moment I'm a believer I just need a cause We're finding it hard to break the mould We are finding it so hard to be alone We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves We have nothing at all to say Uniform There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away All the teenagers looked the same
