lyrics

A friend washed up on the shoreline
Half-covered in sand and wood
He thought if drink didn't save him
Maybe Lake Michigan could

I drove out to the service
The scene came to mourn and attack
For fame, we're leaving our friendships
Fresh material keeps bringing us back

What makes other people happy
We find absolutely ghastly

Don't we love our lucklessness
Don't we love our lucklessness

We don't slide towards desperation
We never really let on
That we hate our generation
And we're afraid of the next one

You can't buy liquor with your Link card
Can't tell DePaul girls that you're twenty
And it's hard to seek wider attention
When the clubs you play are empty

What makes others happy
It's all absolutely ghastly

Don't we love our lucklessness
Don't we love our lucklessness

Some will sleep with half the North Side
Some prefer a quieter communion
Yet all will pause and reflect now
As long as our hand keeps moving

Don't we love our lucklessness
Don't we love our lucklessness
