Curse of the Contemporary - Laura Marling, Mike Lindsay, LUMP

If you should be bored in California

I’m sure I’m not the first to warn ya

Don’t read in too much to all the signs and turns

Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom

If you should be bored in California

I’m sure I’m not the last to warn ya

But deem the land unworthy of the evidently

We salute the sun because

When the day is done

We can’t believe what we’ve become

Something else to prey upon

And evidently

Another something to believe

The curse of the contemporary

We salute the sun because

When the day is done

We can’t believe what we’ve become

Something else to prey upon

And evidently

It’s just another vanity

Another something to believe

The curse of the contemporary
