Art Of Pretension

[Intro]
Let's be pretentious, be something we're not
And we'll jump on the bandwagon cause we think it is hot
And we'll shake our no wave asses, it's the thing to do
Until we can't think or breathe

[Verse 1]
Let's be dramatic, prescriptions for pills
Then we'll buy them with our paychecks so we can't pay our bills
And we'll sleep until tomorrow, I'll be dreaming of you
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Let's be myopic, elitists and smart
Gently rehash pop nostalgia into biblical art
Preach our genius to the masses till our face is blue
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna drive my car into a wall
I wanna buy your house just to burn it down
Please let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screwups

[Verse 3]
Let's be neurotic, our high and our lows
Hire someone who smells famous to tell all of our woes
They'll dissect us like we're children attending Sunday school
Oh yeah

[Verse 4]
Let's be eclectic, won't graze with the pack
You can pierce it with a pin, tattoo its name on your back
But you'll never be as different as you wanted to be
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna drive my car into a wall
I wanna buy your house just to burn it down
Please let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screwups

[Verse 5]
I can't stop dancing or running in place
A reflection of my failures are lit up in your face
I see friends and I see lovers and my confidants
Oh yeah

[Verse 6]
Frustrated liars and idiot savants
Comforted by our petty torments and our liquor filled haunts
If we sleep for 3 tomorrows, will we wake up new?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I wanna drive my car into a wall
I wanna buy your house just to burn it down
And I if I sleep with somebody that I might ever love
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screwups

[Outro]
Blame the cruel art of pretension, I'm so screwed up
