Nikes (Alt) - Jeff Rosenstock

Looking down the barrel of a shitty future

Throwing back whatever we can to avoid the dread

Of what’s been said

But there’s just no escaping it

Trying to find the words to explain what it feels like

Buggin' out like, «Wait, did I say something weird?»

But that is just the price of faking like we’re innocent

Chasing bliss

Chasing bliss is only numbing it

Looking for a dream that won’t morph to a nightmare

Lying to myself about things that I love

'Cause I’m distracted by public displays of happiness

So I scour the internet for a new pair of Nikes

Status symbol shit that I say I’m above

Disown control

Oh no

Oh no

I’m fucking full of shit

Stinkin' rich hypocrite

No, it’s not gonna bring no happiness

No, it’s not gonna bring no happiness

There’s no faking bliss

There’s no faking bliss

There’s no faking bliss

There’s no faking bliss

No, no, no
