lyrics

"Culture Shock"

Take your raincoat off
wipe those tears away
you're drowning in your sadness
I would like to help you

Blood stains in the dirt
where there once was concrete
that held a shopping mall
now you find there's nothing

I know everything about you where it hurts
and I know we all want to be famous in our lives

Forget your consciousness
loose your cautiousness
it's unbecoming of you
be what we want you to be

You seem so self-involved
unaware of all the outrage
that you helped cause
don't you wanna lose yourself
in the mob mentality

please don't go
join us in the anger
the anger

cause I know everything about you where it hurts
and I know we all want to be famous in our lives

I'll take all your money empower you and leave you broke
are you confident yet?
are you confident yet?
are you confident?
are you confident?
are you, are you,
are you confident yet?

Hold up!
This is the dopest part of the song
but you've gotta wait
yeah, ok

Please don't go
I would like to help you
discourage yourself

Everybody I know's been letting me down
was it something I said?
cause they don't want me around
I don't care, I don't care,
I can go it alone
cause I'll be just fine
I can die anytime that I want

I've been living a lie
you know I'm not the only one
to be taken advantage of by your hospitality
ooh, you let me into your heart like an Air B n'B
I wish I had known that there would be a hidden fee
Oh no

You know how it feels
Yes, you know how it feels
to feel bad when someone tries to lift you up
but you just want to mope around

In our lives
In our lives
In our lives
In our lives

Please don't go...
