[Verse 1: Nicholas Allbrook]
If you're a poet, then I'm happy as a fraud
But you really know it, you're so well-informed
But your ancient precedent has got me so damn bored
I'm happy to be basic, right now, that's all I can afford
And she said, "I don't know about you
But Europe has a long artistic legacy"
And if you can't see the problem with that
Then honestly, your poetry's no good to me

[Chorus: Nicholas Allbrook]
I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide

[Verse 2: Nicholas Allbrook]
I've never read Rambo, I'm terrified of guns
And if ignorance is sexy, then I've got to run (Run, run)
Was I born too late for the golden days of my nanny statе?
We never criеd on my side of the generational divide

[Chorus: Nicholas Allbrook]
I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide
I don't know why we never cried
On my side of the generational divide
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Nicholas Allbrook]
I should run and hide
Or die in the generational divide
I don't know why we never cried
On my side of the generational divide

[Verse 3: Jay Watson & Shiny Joe Ryan]
Looking up, I thought I had a friend
Praying that the moment wouldn't end then
Somebody is laughing with me, right?
Counting down the moments 'til my hair turns white

[Outro: Nicholas Allbrook, Jay Watson & Shiny Joe Ryan]
If you're a poet, then I'm happy as a fraud
(Looking up, I thought I had a friend)
But you really know it, you're so well-informed
(Praying that the moment wouldn't end then)
But your ancient precedent has got me so damn bored
(Somebody is laughing with me, right?)
I'm happy to be basic, right now, that's all I can afford
(Counting down the moments 'til my hair turns white)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
