Frenzal Rhomb - Disappointment lyrics

I can see the pain in your eyes

As you try to comprehend your way of life

And I don't think I'm a failure at something

I haven't done yet

I'd be like you if I needed to

I know that you just want me to be happy

As long as that happiness coincides

With your stylised distortions of my values

and a work ethic that no longer applies

We don't want to work too hard

Just accept the way we are

It's your disappointment tearing us apart

Can't you understand this is our time

It's not a phase we're getting on just fine

It's easier to talk about redemption

Than questionable backwards moral lines

It might just be academic pretensions

or justifying when to fantasise

We don't want to work too hard

Just accept the way we are

It's your disappointment tearing us apart

I can see the pain in your eyes

As you try to comprehend your way of life

I know that you just want me to be happy

As long as that happiness coincides

With your stylised distortions of my values

and work ethic that no longer applies

We don't want to work too hard

Just accept the way we are

It's the disappointment tearing us apart
