Faux Alarms - Champagne Riot Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Designer combat boots and daddy's credit card
Playing revolution in your backyard
Trust fund baby with a safety pin
Screaming anarchy but you can't begin
To understand what it means to fight
When your worst fear is Friday night

[Chorus]
This champagne riot's getting old
Plastic rebels with hearts of gold
Smash the system, but save my crown
Watch this princess burn it down
(Burn it down, burn it down)

[Verse 2]
Cat's Cradle bathroom, mascara streams
Panic attack in my American Dreams
Sarah says we're all just playing pretend
Weekend warriors who can't comprehend
The weight of words we throw around
Like confetti on this hallowed ground

[Bridge]
I'm so f*cking sick of my reflection
In this silver spoon collection
Drowning in hypocrisy
But I can't stop, can't breathe
Can't be what they want me to be

[Chorus]
This champagne riot's getting old
Plastic rebels with hearts of gold
Smash the system, but save my crown
Watch this princess burn it down
(Burn it down, burn it down)

[Verse 3]
PhD parents taught me well
To question everything but never rebel
Too much comfort makes me feel sick
Sweet little anarchist's newest trick
Breaking down in designer clothes
While revolution comes and goes

[Bridge 2]
F*ck your lectures on authenticity
When privilege runs through my veins
I'm caught between who I am
And who I need to be
This mess is all I have left

[Chorus]
This champagne riot's getting old
Plastic rebels with hearts of gold
Smash the system, but save my crown
Watch this princess burn it down

[Outro]
The party's over, the bubbles fade
Time to face this masquerade
Sweet little anarchist, go home
Your revolution's on loan
(Your revolution's on loan)
