Uniform Songtext / Lyric

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall

All the young people looked the same

Wearing their masks of cool and indifference

Commerce dressed up as rebellion



'Cause we're so handsome

And we're so bored

So entertain us

Tell me a joke

Make it long, make it last

Make it cruel, just make me laugh

We can't be hurt

We can't be hurt



Drink to forget your blues on the weekend

Think about more things to buy

The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing

And how to grow my hair long






'Cause we're so handsome

And we're so bored

So entertain us

Tell me a joke

Make it long, make it last

Make it cruel, just make me laugh

We can't be hurt

We can't be hurt



So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?

(When you have entertainment

When you have things to pass the time)

So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?

(You can be happy, just play dumb

You can be happy, just play dumb)



Well I was brave

And unique

Intelligent

A snowflake

I could have been a hero

No one can be trusted over the age of 14

Tattoo our arms

Converse shoes

Cynical

But we still do it

We tell ourselves we're different

I've gotten so good at lying to myself

All

All my pain and honor is used up

All, all, all

All my guns are rusted



So when are you going to realise

Those are not your wrongs to right?

Have another line

Have another drink

(Pop songs won't change the government)



I am a martyr I just need a motive

I am a martyr I just need a cause

I'm a believer I just need a moment

I'm a believer I just need a cause

We're finding it hard to break the mold

We're finding it hard to be alone

We're finding it hard to have time by ourselves

We have nothing at all to say

Uniform



There was a sense of disappointment as we left them all

All the young people looked the same
