Teenage Angst Disclaimer Song
Are you entertained?
Do you find this amusing?
Do the words I sing have a meaning to you?
Am I on in the background?
Are you bored of my bullshit yet?
Oh, don't switch me off just yet I don't think I've gotten my point through...
We were told
"The world will be connected"
And now there's millions
Of voices and faces like me
Who'll tell you we love you
We're like you
And you be accepted
Provided you purchase the bullshit we pedal to thee
And they'll make you laugh
And they'll say they understand you
And downplay the fact you've never met
That you'll never know them won't deter from the fact they'll demand you
Fill that whole in your heart by buying yet more of our shit
And I am just like them
Yeah, there's nothing original
In the way I sing all this anger and fear
I'm a worthless and self-absorbed shithead who's so undeserving
Of the three listeners a month I am told I get here
And the world doesn't need any more teenage angst
But it seems that's all that I have left to give
So permit my pathetic voice
And my clumsy hands
And forgive me, my betters, I've got nothing else for to live
And forgive
All my sad little scratchings
Some kid poet's impression of what actual suffering might be
I'll apologise for my stupid attempt at lampshading
In exchange for the attention I so clearly and desperately seek
La da da, la da da etc
