[Verse 1: Win Butler]
Some boys hate themselves
Spend their lives resenting their fathers
Some girls hate their bodies
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback[Pre-Chorus: Win Butler]
Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless[Verse 2: Win Butler]
Assisted suicide
She dreams about dying all the time
She told me she came so close
Filled up the bathtub and put on our first record[Pre-Chorus: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless[Chorus: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
It goes on and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
On and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)[Verse 3: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
Some girls hate themselves
Hide under the covers with sleeping pills and
Some girls cut themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback
Some boys get too much, too much love, too much touch
Some boys starve themselves
Stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback[Bridge 1: Win Butler]
Creature comfort makes it painless
Bury me penniless and nameless
Born in a diamond mine
It's all around you but you can't see it
Born in a diamond mine
It's all around you but you can't touch it[Pre-Chorus: Win Butler]
Saying
God, make me famous
If you can't just make it painless
Just make it painless[Bridge 2: Win Butler]
It's not painless
She was a friend of mine, a friend of mine
And we're not nameless, oh[Chorus: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
It goes on and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
On and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
(On and on I don't know what I want)
(On and on I don't know if I want it)
(On and on I don't know what I want)
Well if you're not sure, better safe than sorry[Post-Chorus: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
Creature comfort, make it painless
Creature comfort, make it painless[Verse 5: Win Butler]
We're the bones under your feet
The white lie of American prosperity
We wanna dance but we can't feel the beat
I'm a liar, don't doubt my sincerity[Post-Chorus: Win Butler]
Just make it painless
Creature comfort, make it painless[Outro: Win Butler + Régine Chassagne]
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na
(Na-na-na-na na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na na-na-na)
Creature comfort, make it painless
