Art Of Pretension Lyrics - Singles - Scarling

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 new wave asses 

It's the thing to do until we can't think or breathe 

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 

Let''s be myopic 

Elitist and smart 

Gently rehash pop nostalgia into biblical art 

Preach our genius to the masses til our faces blue 

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah 

I want to drive my car into a wall 

I want to 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 screw-ups 

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 

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 

I want to drive my car into a wall 

I want to 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 screw-ups 

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 

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 

I want to drive my car into a wall 

I want to 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 screw-ups 

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