Airplanefood! - Lately//Newsflash Lyrics

1997 is the year they said
Where the people start birthing people
Now called Gen Zed
They are Dopamine injected
Frequently infected
Got ADD, BPD
Blame it on society
Phones in their hands
They don't have no real friends
Sense of humour makes no sense
With their short attention spans, hey!

Lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change
Lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change

Bitter taste of solitude
A bitter pill to swallow
Inside, outside
Feeling so hollow
Went from gifted child to useless
Cover myself in bruises
They tell me that I'm overbearing
'parently keep oversharing
Sure I lost my compass way
My existence crumbles
I'M SOCIETY'S DECAY

Lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change
Lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change

Carrying the burden
The weight we hold
Inherit responsibility
Never foretold
See the slaughter for profits
The hatred for views
Got us grasping for nicotine
Grasping for booze
We're in love with the aesthetic
Of substance abuse
We are made to feel pathetic
When we're watching the news

So lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change
Lately
We're desperately waiting
For something to change
Something to change
