[Verse 1]
They want more than a million bucks in the bank
Everyone is voting left but still hates the taxes
No one wants to decide but everyone wants the power
Some live in the city but they call it the hood
I'm the same but I take my chances
No one gets in, ''What, no? I know the bouncer''
Nothing is too late but trying to be brave
Drinking straight vodka, no milk in my coffee
My friend is lost, he snorted an annual salary
Now black cars stand in front of his house at night
Everyone is wearing bike shorts to the festivals
Everyone is chasing followers but who's leading the pack?
Am I better? Driving too fast behind the wheel
Kissed almost every beautiful girl in Stockholm
Can barely go out, have to look over my shoulder
The whole city wakes up before I've gone to bed
[Chorus]
I'm a child of our time, if I broke free
Was my only option to live second hand?
I lived with someone, almost as a communal
And our neighbors from Italy, they drank too much wine
Standing on my feet, feeling the hard ground
Regretting that I didn't drink every second water yesterday
But what does it matter now when it's raining on the Southside?
I can hear my neighbor playing Primetime
[Verse 2: Noel Flike]
I have a friend who claims he knows what love is
But he was subscribed to a chlamydia letter
And every Wednesday he went out and surely then
He woke up each Thursday without-
No one knows another here but
Everyone's your best friend
Until they throw you to the vultures
To stab you in the back later
But everyone wants to be a CEO, no one wants the maternity ward
Everyone's writing ''Bastard child'' in their CV's
Everyone wants to be real, the boys' make mistakes
Someone buys sex and cries on the TV
[Chorus: Noel Flike]
I'm a child of our time, filled with idiocy
Maybe I'll shoot up a school or take my life
Maybe I'll travel away to cleanse my soul
And I don't give a fuck about what you call carbon dioxide
And I search sometimes, I get smeared sometimes
I should move somewhere no one knows my name
So what does it matter now when it's raining on the Westside?
It's always going to be the best life
[Verse 3]
No one wants to wake up but work isn't optional
Everyone wants to get drunk but not hungover
Everyone wants to live big but not big in Bagis
Everyone wants to be a star but no one wants to be famous
No one wants to live here but no one wants to die
No one wants to enter if they have to stand in line
No one wants to work for anyone but have a salary
At least as big as a bank executive
[Verse 4]
They go to the same places, every weekend, the same parties
They fuck the same people and call each other afterwards
And their jobs are that they go on paid vacations
With the same people they talk shit about in the bathroom
Let me explain something, you have such great ideals
When everyone's looking you're phenomenal
Treating your friend from the hood like an accessory
And sing the n-word on private parties
They like ketamine and cocaine and a lot of uppers
They have ADHD but call it a superpower
They talk about it and suddenly they have a book contract
It has to be hard to fight to be relevant
Because everyone's stabbing everyone
So respect to y'all who's studying as an adult or at KTH
No one will save the world because the profit is too low
So they capitalize on their daughter or son
[Chorus]
I'm a child of our time, take a credit loan
I buy really expensive clothes and mortgage my car
I'll maybe let a friend down to go to an event
Braid my hair and I don't see the problem
Standing on my feet, feeling the hard ground
I don't want a child but don't use a condom
So in collaboration with every bastard you know
You should check your friends
[Outro]
No one wants to wake up but no one wants to work
Sitting in live TV, talking with john's
The boys throw gang signs even though they live in Bromma
This is for Sweden, welcome to Stockholm
Here, we still dance to music degrading women
They'd probably cancel their mum if it would gain them followers
They talk to the cops but pretend to be a G
I'm ashamed for who I am, I'm a child of our time
