Lyrics
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

Genius Lyrics
Bloc Party – Uniform
“Uniform” is a slashing rock monster about homogenised global youth culture that will surely be a moshpit favourite. An unexpected influence was Kate Bush’s “Sat in Your Lap
Apathy, M. Shinoda & Tak of S.O.B. – Bloc Party
[Green Lantern:] / This is an Invasion! / [Intro: Apathy & Mike Shinoda] / Hey Ap', why don’t you do the uh--the intro on this shit? / Yo Apathy, Fort Minor, Styles of Beyond
Bloc Party – Where Is Home?
“Where Is Home?” concerns racism and death, that of Christopher Alaneme, the black teenager stabbed in small town Kent. […] [Kele says,] “It’s to do with the idea of me, as a
Bloc Party – The Love Within
“The Love Within” was the perfect first single from Hymns, combining Bloc Party’s unbridled and unique approach to dance music with their newfound love of softer tones. The music
Bloc Party – SRXT
“SRXT” is the last song from A Weekend in the City and builds on a very light sound of glockenspiel and guitars before adding in drums and a crescendo. The song itself is about
Bloc Party – Hunting for Witches
The song is a social commentary of the “Rupert Murdoch” style TV and how the press tries to keep people scared. The recent acts of terrorism are mentioned such as the London
Bloc Party – The Prayer
And then there’s “The Prayer,” the first single. You can hear Okereke’s voice multi-tracked to the high heavens. It was inspired by “St Luke’s Passion” by Penderecki, which the
Bloc Party – On
The night–or two nights–before the morning after are detailed in “On.” It begins as a minimal techno thrum with a bassline that throbs at the back of the head. Then it all kicks
Bloc Party – Sunday
Between Saturday night and Sunday morning, thinks Okereke, all life–and all emotional points–are here. He addresses this directly on “Sunday.” The drums pound like a headache after
Bloc Party – I Still Remember
A song about falling in love while being young. Possibly a first love as the narrator seems quite shy and remembers little details.
Bloc Party – Truth
[Verse 1] / It was the truth / That fell from these lips / It blinded us / And then the darkness left / [Chorus] / So I am yours now / Respectfully / I am yours now / Truthfully
Bloc Party – Kreuzberg
“Kreuzberg” is the sound of a Hoxton U2, bigger, even, than the first album’s “Pioneers,” full of drama bigness even as the lovelorn lyrics offer up tender images aplenty. “
Bloc Party – Flux
Originally released as a stand-alone single, but later included in the re-releases of A Weekend in the City and Intimacy, Flux is one of Bloc Party’s most popular songs. The title
Bloc Party – Waiting for the 7.18
“Waiting for the 7.18” is rebooted drum ‘n’ bass with lovely chiming keyboards. “We were going for a real Richard D James [Aphex Twin] sound,” says Okereke. It sounds nothing like
Bloc Party – Song for Clay (Disappear Here)
[Intro] / I am trying to be heroic / In an age of modernity / I am trying to be heroic / As all around me history sinks / So I enjoy and I devour / Flesh and wine and luxury / But
