The Lawrence Arms — Someday We're All Gonna Weigh 400 Lbs. lyrics

Lyrics

The girls
They don’t love us anymore now
Because we wear black shirts and took a new vow
You can have the whole world right in your home
To redefine and eliminate 'alone' our TV’s do the jobs of a thousand violent
cops keep us inside while misinformation supplements our thoughts
Our kids know just what they need
More monitors and screens and you tell them you can’t take it anymore but you
stay inside and order your food from the grocery store
Your pager
You cell phone
Your laptop
Your mobile home
Your soloflex
Your microwave
Your Chinese take out
Pizza days
Your suburb
Your SUV
Your nursing home for your granny
Your problems have all disappeared
Technology betrays your fear
And if I’m lucky
I’ll never have to see another human being except the guys on my money
The girls in my magazines
The athletes on my TV screen
The people who have sex with me via virtual reality
No garbage man no postman
No guy from 7−11
No store clerk
No soda jerk
Just my companions I plug in A pyramid for a modern day Pharaoh (does it get any cheezer?)
The global village can be yours if your modem’s not too slow
And I can thrive and don’t even have to try
Download my ashes in my hard drive when I die
