Carbon Dating Lyrics

On the corner, in the street
Terrace blocks, like a tardis
If I could make a gift for you
round black plastic, etched with truth
Don't want to lose the hope youth brings
It's got the power of an empty glass
Tears that fall on dirty clothes
Letter signed with an autograph
Come on, look at you

Can you hear the papers hum?
Turned hype into violence
How does it feel to be "in it?"
Where's my generation?
I lie every second day just to feel safe
How can the act be perfect when you control it?
Come on, look at you

I'd carbon date it just to make sure
Because you patented what I stood for
In panic I switched my head and heart around
Sticking with hope that's worth as much as a credit
card or a hand me down On the corner, in the street
Terrace blocks, like a tardis
If I could make a gift for you
round black plastic, etched with truth
Don't want to lose the hope youth brings
It's got the power of an empty glass
Tears that fall on dirty clothes
Letter signed with an autograph
Come on, look at you

I'd carbon date it just to make sure
Because you patented what I stood for
In panic I switched my head and heart around
Sticking with hope that's worth as much as a credit
card or a hand me down

I'd carbon date it just to make sure
Because you patented what I stood for
In panic I switched my head and heart around
Sticking with hope that's worth as much as a credit
card or a hand me down
