As the pollution rises to the surface
It gave us tension, gave us purpose
To wade through the shit we made
And sort it out
She said I'm sorry that I scare you when I shout
I said don't worry, I'm sorry I hit that dirty cigarette out
Of your beautiful
Scorched mouth
Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty chords
And I've built bridges I shouldn't have
And I've burnt the ones I should have
And I've got everything I shouldn't have
And you've got my back, you shouldn't have
And she says that you couldn't have
Done what you did
But you did it anyway
And it's clear you'll never change
Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty chords
Change verse
So I sat I up in my shitty single bed
Surrounded by those who have passed out and may as well be dead
And I said if I died right now, this is not where I want to be found
I wanna be next to you in your low lit underground bedroom
Where the air stinks of self worth decay
It's such a shame I couldn't think of anything better to say
And though we don't drink from the bottom of the bottle
We'll still sink into the bay
Bridge:
And all my songs they sound the same
Cause all my chords they never change x3
And though I may not look the same, I haven't changed, no matter what I might say
Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty metaphors
So don't have my back
Though I'm going through anxiety and panic attacks
And I don't know what for
But I've found support in my witty lyrics
My shitty chords
My cliche metaphors
So watch me fall

Millennial Baby

Oh ooh oohs x4
I love myself
I love myself, it's everyone else that seems to have a problem with that
And I hate my wealth
I hate my wealth but I'm far to self righteous to be responsible with it
And you're the talk of the town
And I'm the talk of a man with three bottles down
So get the hell out of town
And keep your smug ass smile pointed to the ground
Chorus:
I love myself more then anyone else in this room x2
I love myself, so you know I belong
I'm your millennial baby, so I can do nothing wrong
Oh ooh ooh's x4
And we all smoke
We all choke laugh at self destructive jokes
But our lungs, they don't
Thank us because deep down we know
You either die young
Or live too long
Or just steal lines from Jeff Rosenstock songs
And you either live your life between the rips of bongs
Or sing out your life out in rip off songs
Chorus:
I love myself more then anyone else in this room x2
I love myself more then anyone else
I'm your millennial baby, so I know that I'm top shelf
I love myself more then anyone else in this room x2
I love myself, so you know I belong
I'm your millennial baby, so I can do nothing wrong
Bridge:
And if we burn out quicker then before
Our light, it flickers at the door
At the ends of cigarettes, and the spark of life long bets
That we'll never pay back x2
I'll get my payback
We'll get our pay back
Chorus:
I love myself more then anyone else in this room x2
I love myself more then anyone else
I'm your millennial baby, so I know that I'm top shelf
I love myself more then anyone else in this room x2
I love myself, so you know I belong
I'm your millennial baby, so I can do nothing wrong

I wanna live my life like I feel important x3
I'm gonna waste my time sipping wine imported
I'm gonna lay right here and talk about it
I'm gonna hold your beer and pretend I downed it
I've kept my conscious clear, but soon I'll drown it
Can you sense the fear in the ones around us
To keep holding on
I wanna live my life like a feel important
Momentary strife doused with sub-ordinance
Well I came tonight on an aborted pretence
This back alley's fine
Don't wanna die and the time ain't right for me too drink
Not getting high on a payment plan from Centrelink
It's cross the road, don't look, don't laugh, don't stop, don't think
Just get back on time
Chorus:
I'm gonna live my life like there's NOTHING BETTER! x4
I'm gonna sit right here and down a bottle
Of watered down specks of beer, as your attention fondles
My inner ear, and it's clear that this night's full throttle
Chorus:
I'm gonna live my life like there's NOTHING BETTER! x4
Oooh's
Chorus:
I'm gonna live my life like there's NOTHING BETTER! x3
I'm gonna live my life like it's NOT ALREADY FUCKED!!
