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

Curse of the Contemporary

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
The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
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
It’s just another vanity
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
