lyrics

They were teenagers at the same time my parents were
All dressed up in frills and lace just like across the pond
Making up the lesser side of the dallas fort worth hyphenation
I'll show you photographs and you'll wonder what planet
They were taken on

But we still know all of their band names so
Who will be laughing last?
The Cynics, the Elite, or Larry and the Blue Notes?
All your present day perspective
Can't hold a candle to the past

And you can still recall the ever present lacking
Driving down Washington Rd wishing your city were more avant garde
And you wil never hear the garages that preceded you
All these tired parents make you wonder why you tried so hard

So you can go into a premature burn out
And contempalte heroin chic as an aesthetic choice
And self sabotage your entire life just for the hell of it
Wear dark sunglasses and a hat and never raise your voice
Or you can just shake off all the ego investments
All the social regulations and remember what you always knew
There's not some authority on what art gets to be meaningful
We're all in this together and I'm on the same side as you

The editors of Pitchfork are all self deluded jerks
That book on Belle and Sebastian was terrible
The kid who reviewed your record was just 19
That isn't old enough to know shit about anything
