Nervous Triggers - Raygun Youth Lyrics

This is a song
For all the kids
We had more comics
Than we had friends
We'd go to bed
Lie awake for hours
Dream of any life
That wasn't ours

This is the story
Of the desperation
Of depression
In a free nation
We were such losers
That we would not
Have known what to do
Even if we won

We'd bury our heads
In sci-fi books
And dream of anyone
Giving us looks
We'd do our homework
Never have sex
But we had TV
And VHS

It was all lies
It was all myths
The American Dream
Had been f*cked with
There were no heroes
Not anymore
Just PTSD
From shitty wars

And the problem was
We were too smart
And we wouldn't finish
What they made us start
A generation
Of lazy f*cks
Spoiled rotten
Until it killed us

But we gather here
Under the stars
To make it worth it
To bear these scars
The future looks bright
In the black of night
"The future looks bright
If you're into the blight"
