[Verse 1]
We’re posted up behind the Tesco sign,
Baggy jeans, fake thrasher line,
Vapes and Monster — breakfast of kings,
Cameras rolling, doin’ dumb things.

You tried a kickflip, I filmed it bad,
You said “bro, clip it!” — I still laughed.
Cracked your board, you hit the floor,
Said “that’s content, we need more.”

[Chorus]
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
We’re built like memes and nicotine.
Life’s a fail compilation scene,
But we’re still rolling, still obscene.
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
Broke hearts, broke boards, broke routines.
If it’s pain then make it viral —
We’re alive, that’s kinda primal.

[Verse 2]
That one guy’s vaping Oppenheimer clouds,
Someone’s yelling “rizz him up” too loud.
We don’t touch grass, we shred it instead,
And quote NPC memes inside our heads.

Girl with headphones, doomscroll eyes,
Said “touch grass” — I said “I try.”
We laugh ‘cause life’s a Reddit thread,
Full of cringe, but we ain’t dead.

[Chorus]
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
We’re built like memes and nicotine.
Life’s a fail compilation scene,
But we’re still rolling, still obscene.
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
Broke hearts, broke boards, broke routines.
If it’s pain then make it viral —
We’re alive, that’s kinda primal.

[Bridge]
We’re all NPCs in someone’s vlog,
Our brains fried like TikTok dogs.
But the pavement listens, it understands —
Every scar was drawn by our own hands.

[Breakdown / Spoken bit]
“You good?” — “Nah, I’m built different.”
“Same.”
“Let him cook.”
“Bro cooked too hard, he’s gone.”
(sound of skateboard wheels spinning out)

[Final Chorus]
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
Glued by duct tape and caffeine.
We crash, we cry, we livestream —
Still standing, still the meme.
Skinned knees and cheap dreams,
Nothing gold, just faded jeans.
But if life’s a loop — then keep it clean,
And ride forever in the in-between.
