Young Degenerates Lyrics

I had to cough a lung last night when I walked home by myself

I'm just fifteen years old and I gotta walk away from my old self

I woke up with a sentiment I can't shake from my brain

If that was the facade, then I don't want to change a thing

And they said

What if we both snuck into the bathrooms

And we locked the door

And what if when we went inside

We could figure out what our bodies are made for

What if this is finally a chance to change my world

This existential boredom will finally unfurl

Come and take a walk with me, my new exciting friends

Never mind your wallets, they'll grow used to emptiness

What is it you wait for, is your body stuck in bed

The billboards opened up for us, and this is what they said

The bright stars die young

The bright stars die young

The bright stars die young

The bright stars die young

And I sat with them on the train tracks just to watch the shadows grow

Bought an eighth across the street and

Snuck the beer from my parents home

I threw my shirt off towards a boombox we found in the dump

It's a beat up hunk of shit but at least the volume's up

...2001, Kill Rock Stars records, great label. Next we have some Bluetile Lounge, and a new release from the up and coming 24hr Video. Please enjoy

This all will make for the story that I can't divulge in words

Compose a picture en plein air, lest I live life in reverse

Well they say that getting out of here is a no-go

If you're going solo

In this town that no one comes from

And no one

Yeah, no one dares to go

It's as good as things can get

For us young degenerates
