Date Night Lyrics by IDLES

Five Years of Brutalism

2017

[Intro]
Date night
Date night

[Verse 1]
Patience
I've got no goddamn patience
But I tried to shake, shake, shake it up
But I shook myself to boredom
Best friend
I do not like your best friend
And all those shades of grey, ah
They turn my blood so cold, cold, cold, cold

[Pre-Chorus]
When it comes around
We barely scream or shout
Or rarely am I there
And neither of us care

[Chorus]
'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail
I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail

[Verse 2]
No, no, no, you don't
Not a-fucking-gain
With your rhyme and your reason
And your cause
Shepherd?
You want to be a shepherd?
Well, good for you
Go ahead, your life won't be so tepid

[Pre-Chorus]
But when it comes around
We barely scream or shout
And rarely am I there
And neither of us care

[Chorus]
'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail
I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail

[Bridge]
Whoo
Yak, yak, heart attack
Sat in a taxi all clad in black
Yak, yak, heart attack
Sat in a taxi all clad in black
I, I, I, I, I never lie easy
Work with a migrant crew
I work in a menagerie
I don't give a fuck about me or you
'Cause I'm so cold
I'm so cold
I'm so cold
I'm so cold

[Chorus]
'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail
I, I, I, I, I guess we
Was born to fail

[Outro]
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Yes, no
Yes, no
Yes, no
