lyrics

i used to be nice
then i forgot how to fight
it makes me feel like shit
on this sunday night

so full of pain
there's a swell and it's on my brain
i never wanted to be a star
no time for facade

something's wrong in my head
and the kids don't know what they said
it's always been the same
living in vain

right the wrongs in your head
on a platform that should be dead
the enemy in our bed
we're living in vain

i used to be nice
until we all got bored at the same time
civil war is rife
i used to be nice

the culture wars of today
but there's no money to be made
don't take yourself seriously
to generate publicity

something's wrong in your head
cos the kids don't know what they've said
it's always been the same
living in vain

right the wrongs in your head
on a platform that should be dead
the enemy in our bed
we're living in vain
