No Hope

The Vaccines - "No Hope"

.

Oh I could bore you with the truth

About an uneventful youth

Or you could get that rap from someone else

And I could make an observation

If you are the voice of a generation

But I'm too self absorbed to give it clout

.

And I, I don't really care about

Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out

Cause when you're young and bored and 24

And you don't know who you are, no more

There's no hope

When you try to come of age

I think it's a problem

And does it ever go away?

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase

Or I'll grow-oh-oh-oh

.

Oh I could look for inspiration

Find it in the charm of an English station

But wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed

And I could bet you don't believe me

If I said it came from deep within me

But I promise you I'm telling you the truth

.

And I, I don't really care about

Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out

Cause when you're 24 and young and bored

And you don't know who you are, no more

There's no hope

When you try to come of age

I think it's a problem

And does it ever go away?

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase

Or I'll grow

.

Well I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin

But the whole thing feels like an exercise

And trying to be someone I would rather not be

I'd try to second guess if you would be approving

I find my life ever so moving

Keen wide-eyed and unassuming

Okay

.

There is no hope

And there's desperately

No hope, and there's definitely

No hope if you don't believe me

Oh, oh, oh

Yeah there is no hope

And there's desperately

No hope, and there's definitely

No hope if you don't believe me

Oh, oh, oh

.

But I, I don't really care about

Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out

Cause when you're 24 and young and bored

And you don't know who you are, no more

There's no hope

When you try to come of age

I think it's a problem

And does it ever go away?

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase

Or I'll grow

.

There is no hope

I know it's a problem

And it never goes my way

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess, but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase

Or I'll grow-oh-oh-oh
