Uniform Lyrics - Weekend In The City - Bloc Party

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall 

All the young people looked the same 

Wearing their masks of cool and indifference 

Commerce dressed up as rebellion 

'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored 

So entertain us, tell me a joke 

Make it long, make it last 

Make it cruel, just make me laugh 

We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt 

Drink to forget your blues on the weekend 

Think about more things to buy 

The TV taught me how to sulk and love nothing 

And how to grow my hair long 

'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored 

So entertain us, tell me a joke 

Make it long, make it last 

Make it cruel, just make me laugh 

We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt 

We can't be hurt 

So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose? 

(When you have entertained them. When you have things to pass the time) 

So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you? 

(You can be happy just playing dumb. You can be happy just playing dumb) 

Well I was brave (and unique), intelligent (a snowflake) 

I could have been a hero 

No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen 

Tattoo our arms (Converse shoes), cynical ? 

We tell ourselves we're different 

I've gotten so good at lying to myself 

(Oh!) 

All my pain and honour is used up 

(Oh! Oh! Oh!) 

All my guns are rusted 

So when you gonna realise 

Those are not your wrongs to right? 

Have another line, have another drink 

I am a martyr, I just need a motive 

I am a martyr, I just need a cause 

I'm a believer, I just need a moment 

I'm a believer, I just need a cause 

We're finding it hard to break the mold 

We're finding it hard to be alone 

We're finding it hard to ourselves 

We have nothing at all to say 

Uniform 

There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall 

All the young people looked the same
