The Age Of Anxiety

I just wanna live inside sometimes

Don't wanna have to beg you to subscribe

Are you a man before your father dies

"But what's a man these days?" I hear you cry

Now we're raising up our children right

Is my career going to reignite

See all the virtue signalers tonight

I want that bandwagon to pass me by

Well I've been scratching around in the dark

Looking for meaning in the cold, cold earth

So gather here what's left of your self worth

'Cause only love is what survives of us

'Cause I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory

In the age of anxiety

Do those kids know that I was somebody?

And I've kept all my texts from Amy

My mother was one of those bodies

Another stranger off the ferry

I wanna put my hands up in the air

And raise my phone up like I just don't care

An outrage, blow me down the White House stairs

Did I waste my time on all that prayer

No I won't be your apparatchik

And be the kind that's blind to all this magic

So here comes your European exit

With asylum seekers in your attic

So I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory

In the age of anxiety

Today I do not feel like being strong

And don't wanna admit to the world I'm wrong

Don't make me feel that I have to belong

I hope the band won't make me sing along

'Cause I hold onto you

And you hold onto me

A tiny victory

In the age of anxiety

A shining victory

In the age of anxiety

I hope the band won't make me sing along

I hope the band won't make me sing along

The age of anxiety

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band

I hope the band won't make me

I hope the band won't make me

I hope the band won't make me

I hope the band won't make me

Only love survives of us

Only love survives of us

Only love survives of us

Only love survives of us
