Edge of Nowhere
Verse 1
Teenyboppers dancing and dying
For the latest bands and all things trendy
With fragrances, Mohawks and skinny jeans
Smartphones displaying more intelligence than them
Mommies more limited than they'll ever admit to
Frazzled and burnt out in the modern age
New inventions create new complications
Don't be surprised if we're replaced by robots
Verse 2
As we watch procedurals, we become more clueless
Snapping out of bad habits is difficult
But if we prevail, the reward is great
We'll know that we can overcome our addictions
Sleeping with the enemy is what your daddy did
Until driven away and banished by the state
Reparations are never paid to the youth
We can't hide from them
They see us fully and completely
Verse 3
Activism in dwindling supply
Unions caving in
Will the boss man win?
Aliens are seen as the last great hope
The antidote to every illness and conflict
If you drink the Kool-Aid
You'll drain yourself of blood
Living in a mad house will be your new home
When things become q-ueer and more unrelatable
Only the designers can create new styles of living
Chorus
Let's all join hands and chew bubblegum
Make a s-ex tape and gossip all day
When we're brand new, we're unlimited
But everything becomes tainted
Sparks shine a bit dimmer
The light is less vibrant
And we're pushed closer to the edge
The edge of nowhere
