Millennial Waste of Air

Have you seen your friend has got a job in the city?

He moved to London and at night he says the streets are so pretty

Maybe it's time that you should follow in his footsteps?

Look at your options and consider where your strengths lay,

Cos' there's no future in this road that you keep driving backwards

Are you never scared, do you never worry?

The clock keeps ticking and you always say you ain't got no money

Don't you want to try and make your mum and dad proud?

Cos' you do nothing every day, you're always sitting round,

Searching for rhythms that'll put your name in lights

No I don't want to buy a ticket to your show,

So I'll just say I'm coming then I'll never go

Now all your friends don't talk to you

Cos' they think you wasted all you had as a youth

And I'm not being funny, and I'm not being rude,

But saying that you're different doesn't make you cool

Maybe you should give it a chance cos

Life's not all about a song and a dance,

And right now it doesn't look like you care

You're a good for nothing Millennial Waste Of Air

Yeah you're music's fine, but there's no chance you will make it

You sound like everyone else, how will you ever be big?

So take responsibility and get a proper job,

Go work behind a desk, or at a coffee shop

I hear they're hiring at a place on Camden Road,

I've been told

No I don't want to buy a ticket to your show,

So I'll just say I'm coming then I'll never go

Now all your friends don't talk to you

Cos' they think you wasted all you had as a youth

And I'm not being funny, and I'm not being rude,

But saying that you're different doesn't make you cool

Maybe you should give it a chance cos

Life's not all about a song and a dance,

And right now it doesn't look like you care

You're a good for nothing Millennial Waste Of Air

And in six months you're 25

But you've got nothing to show for it

But a rounded frame

And a dream you won't let die

And I still won't buy a ticket for your show

Now all your friends don't talk to you

Cos' they think you wasted all you had as a youth

And I'm not being funny, and I'm not being rude,

But saying that you're different doesn't make you cool

Maybe you should give it a chance cos

Life's not all about a song and a dance,

And right now it doesn't look like you care

You're a good for nothing Millennial Waste Of Air
