The Ingenues – Art Of Pretension

The Ingenues – Art Of Pretension Lyrics

Artist: The Ingenues
Song: Art Of Pretension

Let’s be pretentious
And we’ll jump on the bandwagon
Pretentious
Let’s be dramatic, prescriptions for pills

Then we’ll buy them with our paychecks so we can’t pay our bills
And we’ll sleep until tomorrow, I’ll be dreaming of you
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Let’s be myopic, elitists and smart

Gently rehash pop nostalgia into biblical art
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna drive my car into a wall
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)

I wanna buy your house just to burn it down
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
Please let me sleep with somebody that I will nеver trust
Blame the cruеl art of pretension for my screwups

(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
Let’s be pretentious
Let’s be neurotic, our high and our lows
Hire someone who smells famous to tell all of our woes

They’ll dissect us like we’re children attending Sunday school
Oh yeah
Let’s be eclectic, won’t graze with the pack
You can pierce it with a pin, tattoo its name on your back

But you’ll never be as different as you wanted to be
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna drive my car into a wall
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)

I wanna buy your house just to burn it down
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
Please let me sleep with somebody that I will never trust
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screwups

(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
I can’t stop dancing or running in place
A reflection of my failures are lit up in your face
I see friends and I see lovers and my confidants

Oh yeah
Frustrated liars and idiot savants
Tempted by our petty torments and our liquor filled haunts
If we sleep for 3 tomorrows, will we wake up new?

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna drive my car into a wall
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
I wanna buy your house just to burn it down

(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)
And I if I sleep with somebody that I might ever love
Blame the cruel art of pretension for my screwups
(I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it)

Blame the cruel art of pretension, I’m so screwed up
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)

(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
(Pretension, I’m so screwed up)
