  • And irony's okay, I suppose
    Culture is to blame
    You try and mask your pain in the most postmodern way
    You lack substance when you say
    Something like, "Oh, what a shame"
    It's just a self-referential way
    That stops you having to be human
    I'm assuming you'll balloon
    When you remove the dirty spoon
    And start consuming like a human
    That's what I am assuming

    I'm sure that you're not just another girl
    I'm sure that you're gonna say that that was sexist
    I feel like you're running out
    Of all the things I liked you for

    Why can't we be friends when we are lovers?
    'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
    Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
    I've just got one more thing to say

    And why would you believe you could control how you're perceived
    When at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?
    Keep on putting off conceiving
    It's only you that you're deceiving
    Oh, don't have a child, don't cramp your style, I'll leave it

    Why can't we be friends, when we are lovers?
    'Cause it always ends with us hating each other
    Instead of calling me out, you should be pulling me in
    I've just got one more thing to say

    I'm just pissed off because you pied me off
    After your show when you let go of my hand
    In front of some sket who wanted bit on your
    Nah, I'm just messing Writer/s: Adam Brian Thomas Hann, George Bedford Daniel, Matthew Timothy Healy, Ross Stewart MacDonald
