All we want is a headrush.
All we want is to get out of our skin for a while.
We have nothing to lose - because we don't have anything.
Anything we want, anyway...
We used to hate people.
Now we just make fun of them
- it's more effective that way.

We don't live;
we just scratch on day to day
with nothing but matchbooks
and sarcasm in our pockets.

And all we are waiting for
is for something worth waiting for.
Let's admit America gets the celebrities we deserve.
Let's stop saying "Don't quote me,"
because if no one quotes you,
you probably haven't said a thing worth saying.

We need something to kill the pain
of all that nothing inside.
We all just want to die a little bit.
We fear that pop-culture
is the only culture we're ever going to have.
We want to stop reading magazines,
stop watching TV,
stop caring about Hollywood;
but we're addicted to the things we hate.

We don't run Washington and no one really does.
Ask not what you can do for your country
- ask what your country did to you.

The only reason you're still alive
is because someone
has decided to let you live.

We owe so much money we're not broke - we're broken.
We're so poor we can't even pay attention

So what do you want?
You want to be famous and rich and happy,
but you're terrified you have nothing to offer this world.
Nothing to say and no way to say it
- but you can say it in three languages.
You are more than the sum of what you consume.
Desire is not an occupation;
you are alternately thrilled and desperate,
skyhigh and fucked.

Let's stop praying for someone to save us
and start saving ourselves.
Let's stop this and start over.
Let's go out - let's keep going.

This is your life - this is your fucking life.

Quit whining
- you haven't done anything wrong,
because frankly,
you haven't done much of anything.

Someone's writing down your mistakes,
someone's documenting your downfall...
