Indispensable Pencil Lyrics by Cabbage

Young, Dumb and Full Of...

2017

You're too sensible
But you're indispensable
You're too sensible
But you're indispensable
And you know what to do you've said it through and through
The pencil fables scribe their way to lonesome moral truths

You're too sensible
But you're indispensable
You're too sensible
But you're indispensable and when its gone away, we'll lie there in our graves
Knowing that we're slaves for a desperate taste of praise

And every time they come alive they give us that bad glimmer
Its the nihilistic glamour pose its all a pack of lies
The chance of moral suicide
You know there there ain't no compromise
One day you will need us and we don't know who to trust

And every time they come alive they give us that bad glimmer
Its the nihilistic glamour pose its all a pack of lies
The chance of moral suicide
You know there there ain't no compromise
One day you will need us and we don't know who to trust

Oh Celebrity

We don't, we don't know who to trust
We don't, we don't know who to trust
We don't, we don't know who to trust
We don't, we don't know who to trust

And every time they come alive they give us that bad glimmer
Its the nihilistic glamour pose its all a pack of lies
The chance of moral suicide
You know there there ain't no compromise
One day you will need us and we don't know who to trust
