You were born to consume
Each and every day
Black cabs in the city
Golf carts in LA
Paper, please, no plastic
Fill the bag with palm oil
Get high, forget the instructions and microwave the fucking tin foil
And you don't read the news
Sometimes you check your timeline
Repost the infographics
Get deep after a glass of wine
You stick it to the man
Stealing stuff from Walmart
'Cause if it's a chain, it's free reign
Whoever thought of that must be pretty smart
You're helpless in the back seat
You try less as the years go by
Your riot youth, it deserts you
So you're headed for the hills tonight
You were born to be you
But you've gone algorithmic
Coastal grandma, eclectic grandpa, 'run, don't walk' aesthetic
You're throwing stuff away
Not wondering where 'away' is
You thought that top went to the thrift shop, but it got rejected
And now it's out of your hands
No stress, no fuss, no drama
Your fast-fashion wardrobe takes a trip down to southern Ghana
And they can't sell it there
But Great Britain doesn't care
And I guess that you don't either
Don't blame me, blame my leader
You're helpless in the back seat
You try less as the years go by
Your riot youth, it deserts you
So you're headed for the hills tonight
You're helpless in the back seat
You try less as the years go by
Your riot youth, it deserts you
So you're headed for the hills tonight
You don't think about things like you did at twenty-five
All you wanna do is run away from real life
Get yourself a home, a dog, a kid, a loving wife
Activism has a tendency to just expire
You'll be six feet under before this town sets on fire
Switch it off, eat it up, we're all liars
I'm the same, I know
We're helpless in the back seat
We try less as the years go by
Your riot youth, it deserts you
So you're headed for the hills tonight
You're helpless in the back seat
You try less as the years go by
Your riot youth, it deserts you
So you're headed for the hills tonight
