24hr Video - Young Degenerates

I had to cough a lung last night when I walked home by myself
I'm just fifteen years old and I gotta walk away from my old self
I woke up with a sentiment I can't shake from my brain
If that was the facade, then I don't want to change a thing

And they said
What if we both snuck into the bathrooms
And we locked the door
And what if when we went inside
We could figure out what our bodies are made for
What if this is finally a chance to change my world
This existential boredom will finally unfurl

Come and take a walk with me, my new exciting friends
Never mind your wallets, they'll grow used to emptiness
What is it you wait for, is your body stuck in bed
The billboards opened up for us, and this is what they said

The bright stars die young
The bright stars die young
The bright stars die young
The bright stars die young

And I sat with them on the train tracks just to watch the shadows grow
Bought an eighth across the street and
Snuck the beer from my parents home
I threw my shirt off towards a boombox we found in the dump
It's a beat up hunk of shit but at least the volume's up

(...2001, Kill Rock Stars records, great label. Next we have some Bluetile Lounge, and a new release from the up and coming 24hr Video. Please enjoy)

This all will make for the story that I can't divulge in words
Compose a picture en plein air, lest I live life in reverse

Well they say that getting out of here is a no-go
(if you're going solo)
In this town that no one comes from
And no one
Yeah, no one dares to go

It's as good as things can get
For us young degenerates
