Mixtapes and Chivalry

Verse 1
Did you see the better days
Do you remember when we were younger
Before the weight of the world
Turned us all against each other
Now we fend for ourselves
And maybe a lucky few that we love
While those we leave behind
Are left to ask help from above

Bridge
Now arrogance is instilled from birth
As naturally as falling leaves
If you can’t look out for others
Who’ll be there when you’re in need
Selfishness has taken over
We live our lives for greed
“Fuck what I can do for you
Ask what you can do for me”

Chorus
So much love was lost through genius playlists and convenience
Online substitutes for what we used to do to show we cared
Now I can’t see the point in love, when chivalry is dead
So I’m making mixtapes instead

Verse 2
I thought I used to love you
And I thought that you loved me
I thought it was a memory
Till I woke up from this dream
Was life always this way?
Or has it changed recently?
Was I too young to notice?
Or was I just too naive?

Bridge
Now arrogance is instilled from birth
As naturally as falling leaves
If you can’t look out for others
Who will help when you’re in need
Selfishness has taken over
We live our lives for greed
“Fuck what I can do for you
Ask what you can do for me”

Chorus
So much love was lost through genius playlists and convenience
Online substitutes for what we used to do to show we cared
Now I can’t see the point in love, when chivalry is dead
So I’m making mixtapes instead

(Harmonica Solo)

Chorus
So much love was lost through genius playlists and convenience
Online substitutes for what we used to do to show we cared
Now I can’t see the point in love, when chivalry is dead
So I’m making mixtapes instead
