morning papers never give you reasons to be up and at ‘em

the human race always lets you down (oh oh, oh oh oh)

got no faith in no one, or yourself

girl, that’s detachment, it’s disconnect

they say you don’t get it, but now you won’t let em

get to you, make you blue

sweetness, glee (hope you get to see) and apathy

parties filled with the pretty people, things get blurry dancing

the lights are off so you can see (oh oh, oh oh oh)

got your protest songs, they get so deep

yeah, that’s a statement, it’s intellect!

but your other friends don’t get it, ‘cause they always let you down

it ain’t your crowd

in jealousy, (hope you'll finally see) you’ll find me

say you’ve got all you could get, you say you’re leaving

don’t forget about our town (oh oh, oh oh oh)

you’ve seen everything, all the bars

you know I’ll miss you, hope you come back

but you say I won’t get it, I know you’re gone so far yet

I hold on hope you’ll come back home

sweetness, glee (where you won't find me) and jealousy
