"Bottleshops" lyrics

Pull yourself up by your goddamn bootstraps
You're thirty years old and you're in the basement
You're thirty years old, haven't seen a paycheck
Can't be thirty years old and always wasted
All the schoolboys are already working
But working in the city just seems so lonely
You're shattered and cracked, and you can't relax
And all the schoolboys are wearing slacks
Stop denying the fact that you can't climax
Your parents think you're shit 'cause you don't pay taxes
All the schoolboys are already working
But working in the city just seems so lonely

Romance is the only thing you've got when you're in suburban bottle shops
Romance is the only thing you've got when you're in suburban bottle shops
Working in the city just seems so lonely
Working in the city just seems so lonely

Every shop front doubles as a billboard
It's an ergonomic chair, it's a medicine ball
It's only fifty bucks to look industrial
To do a photoshoot by a graffiti wall
All the schoolboys are already working
But working in the city just seems so lonely
It's a city of walls, a gated community
It's a city of walls, a laminated eulogy
You're taking so long in the family shower
Think of what you're doing to your favourite trousers
All the schoolboys are already working
But working in the city just seems so lonely

Romance is the only thing you've got when you're in suburban bottle shops
Romance is the only thing you've got when you're in suburban bottle shops
Working in the city just seems so lonely
Working in the city just seems so lonely
