ALL WE DO IS GAZE AT SCREENS
A BUNCH OF LAUGHS A SCARY GRIN TO SPEND OUR TIME

WE EAT OUR MEALS IN SOLITUDE
AND ON THE PHONE A GLIMPSE A SOB OF POETRY

BUT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
WE'RE DOING FINE
SO CURIOUS AND MEAN
WE SLEEPWALK
IF LOVERS WERE THE ONLY WAGING WARS
THEY WOULD WAKE US UP AND SMILE

WE WANT A KING TO SET US FREE
WE BUY WE SELL WE DISAGREE WE DON'T HAVE TIME

BUT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
WE'RE DOING FINE
SO CURIOUS AND MEAN
WE SLEEPWALK
IF LOVERS WERE THE ONLY WAGING WARS
THEY WOULD WAKE US UP AND SMILE

ALL WE DO IS GAZE AT SCREENS
A BUNCH OF LAUGHS A SCARY GRIN TO SPEND OUR TIME
