Intro

Oh I could bore you with the truth

About an uneventful youth

 Or you could get that rap from someone else

And I could make an observation

If you are the voice of a generation

 But I’m too self absorbed to give it clout

 And I, I don’t really care about

 Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out

 Cause when you’re young and bored and 24

And you don’t know who you are no more

 There's no hope

 And it’s hard to come of age

I think it’s a ṗroblem

 And it never goes my way

And no, I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there’s no hope

 But I hope it’s just a phase

Or I’ll grow-oh-oh-oh

Oh I could look for inspiration

Find it in a chart on an English station

 but wouldn’t that be cheap and ill-informed

And I could bet you don’t believe me

If I said it came from deep within me

 But I promise you I’m telling you the truth

And I, I don’t really care about

Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out

 Cause when you’re 24 and young and bored

And you don’t know who you are no more

 There's no hope

 And it’s hard to come of age

I think it’s a ṗroblem

 And it'll never go away

And no, I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there’s no hope

 But I hope it’s just a phase

And I’ll grow

Well I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin

But the whole thing feels like an exercise

And drank would be someone I would rather not be

I’d try to second guess if you would be approving

I find my life ever so moving

Keen wide-eyed and unassuming

Hoṗe

 There is no hope

But there’s desperately

 No hope, but there’s definitely

 No hope if you don’t believe me

Oh, oh, oh

 And there is no hope

But there’s desperately

 No hope, but there’s definitely

 No hope if you don’t believe me

Oh, oh, oh

 But I, I don’t really care about

Anybody else when I haven’t got my whole life figured out

 Cause when you’re 24 and young and bored

And you don’t know who you are no more

 There's no hope

 And it’s hard to come of age

I think it’s a ṗroblem

 And it never goes my way

And no, I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there’s no hope

 But I hope it’s just a phase

Or I’ll grow

There is no hope

I know, it's a problem

 And it never goes my way

 And no, I am so self-obsessed

 I guess, but there’s no hope

 But I hope it’s just a ṗhase

  A (2 fr.) end on

Or I’ll grow-oh-oh-oh
