No Hope

Well I could bore you with a truth

About an uneventful youth

So you could get that wrap from someone else

And I could make an observation

If you want the voice of the 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 at 24

And don't know who you are no more

There's no hope and it's hard to come of age

I think it's a problem 'cause they never go away

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase I'll outgrow, oh, oh, oh

Well I could look for inspiration

Find it in the job of an English nation

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 tellin' 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 don't know who you are no more

There's no hope and it's hard to come of age

I think it's a problem 'cause they never go away

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase I'll outgrow

Well I wish 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 tried to second guess if you would be approving

I find my life ever so moving

Keen, wide-eyed and unassuming

Oh (Okay)

There is no hope but there's desperately

No hope but there's definitely

No hope if you don't believe me, oh

Yeah, there is no hope but there's desperately

No hope but there's definitely

No hope if you don't believe me, 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 don't know who you are no more

There's no hope and it's hard to come of age

I think it's a problem 'cause they never go away

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess but there's no hope

And I hope it's just a phase I'll outgrow

There is no hope, I know it's a problem

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 I'll outgrow, oh, oh, oh
