Lyrics
The greatest story ever written down
Was unleashed upon an indifferent public to really no reknown
You may have even seen a copy once
In the back of a thrift store in a box labelled "books nobody wants"
In a really ugly font
And you have never heard your favorite song
It was an album track by an unknown band that now is long gone
But even if you heard that song today
You'd listen to the first ten seconds, then just click away
And let it slip away
But we're all alright
Thank god for websites
On all night
Cause the silence upsets us
High as kites
On pills and pixels
Loving life
or what passes for it now
As the happy workers sing a happy song...
Your best friend's someone that you'll never meet
Except for maybe once or twice you'll pass them on the street
And never even look them in the eye
Your head completely underwater as you just pass on by
And never even try
Happy is something you've never been
But you can make that voice shut up by staring at a screen
You gotta stay upbeat, keep moving up
'Cause how else do you expect to be able to pay for all this stuff
With prices going up
But we're all alright
Thank god for websites
On all night
Cause the silence upsets us
High as kites
On pills and pixels
Loving life
Just click away from
What you don't like
Can't look in the eye
But it's your life
That's clicking away
But the glow's so bright
Won't let the cracks show
'Cause it's all alright
And if this plane is going down
Just turn your headphones up and sing along...
