Last century promised so much
- But look at us now when we're all grown up
- But all our heroes are dead or corrupt
- But our roles have all become outdated
- And our thoughts are all second rated

As radical as we want to be
No shame or anxiety in our dreams
Playing the role of selling discontent
We are as real as we are going to get

Last century promised so much
- Like cheap salvation through rock'n'roll
- A million new ways to save our little souls
- But we are still waiting for some kind of reward
- But here we are unsatisfied and bored

But what did become of us?
A borrowed intellect and a stolen pose
Dismantling the powers with the rules it sets
We are as real as it's going to get

We destroy ourselves every night
With the intention of salvation in sight
We know that this is all that you want to see
Cause we are as real as real can be
We know that it feels like f___ing fake
And how much more of this can we take
We know that this is all that you want to see
Cause essence is nowhere and nothing is real

As radical as we want to be
No shame or anxiety in our dreams
Playing the role of selling discontent
We are as real as we are going to get
And what did become of us?
A borrowed intellect and a stolen pose
Dismantling the powers with the rules it sets
We are as real as it's going to get
