Los Campesinos! The International Tweexcore Underground Lyrics

I bet you twenty pounds if you knew ten years ago how pretty you'd turn out
Then you'd never have gotten your ears pierced,
But I never got my ears pierced and look how I turned out,
And the last time that you tried listening to music
And reading fiction at the same time,
You never finished the chapter, but you finished your song with your chin on your knees like you belong

And I never cared about Henry Rollins
Amelia Fletcher never meant anything to me
The International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all

Getting the laptop fixed by a professional doesn't make me a p___
And stamping harder on your FX pedal, won't make you feel any better any more
Oh you said "we've gotta bite the hand that feeds" but I was sucking seductively on the fingertips of a civil servant,
Said "how you gonna bring the state down when you're propping it up?
With daytime radio
And skimmed milk and soppy bows
Just 'cause you're scared to be alone"

And I never cared about Ian MacKaye
Calvin Johnson never meant anything to me
But the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all

Ooh, this city is run by f___ing pigs, and though you say you're my friend, you're not, you're one of them.

And I never cared about...whatever
Sarah Records never meant anything to me
But the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all
