[Verse 1]
When did we get so skinny?
Start doing ketamine on weekends
Getting wasted at the station
And trying to keep our friends from death
We're trying to keep our friends from death
[Pre-Chorus]
And yesterday I heard you say
"Everything will sort itself if I get to L.A."
[Chorus]
And oh, oh, oh
We're a super sad generation
Killing time and losing our paychecks
And oh, oh, oh
We're a super sad generation
Killing time and losing our paychecks
[Verse 2]
We're barking out, it's not hard to see
Drop three tabs quick in the back of the Prius
Rainbow crop top, Billie Jean
Might kill myself if you don't pick me
Prom queens brushing blood out their teeth, it's clean
Don't call me grieving for what we used to be
We're 17, just let it be
Drink some coffee, pretend it's the 60's
[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday I heard you say
"Everything will sort itself out if I get to L.A."
[Chorus]
And oh, oh, oh
We're a super sad generation
Killing time and losing our paychecks
And oh, oh, oh
We're a super sad generation
Killing time and losing our paychecks
Yeah, we're killing time and losing our paychecks

I wrote the poem that inspired that song afterwards on the bus. It was very much a reflection of that moment....
