Lyrics:

If you're a poet, then I'm happy as a fraud
But you really know it, you're so well informed
But your ancient precedent has got me so damn bored
I'm happy to be basic, right now, that's all I can afford
And she said, 'I don't know about you
But Europe has a long artistic legacy'
And if you can't see the problem with that, then
Then honestly, your poetry's no good to me

I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide

I've never read Rambo, I'm terrified of guns
And if ignorance is sexy, then I've got to run, run, run
Was I born too late for the golden days of my nanny state?
We never cried on my side of the generational divide

I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide
I don't know why we never cried
On my side of the generational divide

I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide
I don't know why we never cried
On my side of the generational divide

Looking up, I thought I had a friend
Praying that the moment wouldn't end then
Somebody is laughing with me, right?
Counting down the moments 'til my hair turns white

If you're a poet, then I'm happy as a fraud (looking up, I thought I had a friend)
But you really know it, you're so well informed (praying that the moment wouldn't end then)
But your ancient precedent has got me so damn bored (somebody is laughing with me, right?)
I'm happy to be basic, right now, that's all I can afford (counting down the moments 'til my hair turns white)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
