Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Attila said that we were born to scream
While I was in the bathroom getting high off of lean
I heard somebody outside talking shit
Those East Village kids and their '90s hits
[PreChorus]
Oh no
But of course
Who are you?
And why you always coming around?
Just to say
Things are doubtful
Lies help the world go 'round
[Chorus]
It's the wrong time to be alive
We're screaming all alone on your roof
Broken patterns of talking time
Oh, I wish you knew the truth
[Verse 2]
Attila said that we were meant to be
Flying paper cranes and pornography
She's a television lover who disagrees with the state
Just a Hollywood baby born too late
[PreChorus]
Oh, no
But of course
Who are you?
And why you always talking me down?
From some ledge
From some place
You said, "Real lies really go 'round"
[Chorus]
It's the wrong time to be alive
We're screaming all alone on your roof
Broken patterns of talking time
I wish you knew the truth
[Bridge]
When you're weighed down
So you break up
And you move so fast till now
It's a cold night
Since you let me down
And god, I wish you knew
[Bridge]
And now I'm breaking it down
And now we're breaking it down
And now I'm breaking it down
And now we're breaking it down
Thirty years, you don't make a sound
Now nobody's around
Now nobody's around
And now you're breaking
[Chorus]
It's the wrong time to be alive
And no, you're not breaking
It's the wrong time to be alive
No, no, no, no
[Chorus]
It's the wrong time to be alive
Oh no, we're screaming all alone
Broken patterns of talking time
[Outro]
Now we're breaking it down
Now we're breaking it down
Now we're breaking it down
And now we're breaking
