BEFORE YOU TURN THE ENGINE ON
I NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG
WITH BOTH YOUR EYES, I GET IT ANYWAY
NO WAY IN HELL I’D LET YOU DRIVE
I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD STAY ALIVE
YOU SIT AND SMILED: “I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY”
BEFORE I GET TOO OLD
I WANT TO DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE
YOU FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL
LIKE IT AIN’T EVEN NO BIG DEAL, YOU KILL ME BABE
ONE DAY YOU’LL KILL US BOTH
THE WILD SIDE NOBODY SEES
THE DEVIL INSIDE OF YOU AND ME
IF WE LET IT OUT, IT’LL BE ALL SHE WROTE
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN
WON’T THINK THAT BURNING IT DOWN IS A JOKE
BEFORE WE GET TOO OLD
I WANNA DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE
OH AN OLD ROUTINE, THIS KAMIKAZE DREAM
IS MORE FUN THAN IT SEEMS, THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN
WON’T THINK THAT BURNING IT DOWN IS A JOKE
BUT THEY WON’T SEE US LAUGHING
AS WE DRIVE DIRECTLY STRAIGHT INTO THE SMOKE
BEFORE WE GET TOO OLD
I WANNA DIE YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL & BROKE
This album seems to perfectly encapsulate modern life for an entire generation of the working class. It's a record of experiences shared by so many. An amazing and important work of art. Roll The Hard Six
The whole album stings the soul like icy rain. It's a genuine & heartfelt dive into sadness; & it is entirely relatable.
A solid album where every track is a hit. Hellsatyr
My Pet Flamingo’s winning streak continues with this gorgeous ethereal pop LP with melodies that rise and fall like vapor. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2022
The Menzingers somehow manage to achieve the sound of punk itself while remaining their entirely own thing. Yet this is an album that only they could make. Hello Exile is a mood. luna_m
