Who would've thought

Ring, ring, ring here comes the morning
Waking every day to an analog
Quantized walking one foot then the other
Your world is boring, now it's time to look around
[Chorus]
Some were lost, some were found
Inspiration's hit the ground now
Life career, end is near, nine to five corpse working
No way out of this drought, no way
Who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
Who ever thought life would be this way
Life is hard but it's always getting better
So don't cry for today baby, no worries
So right now, let's turn on the radio
And listen to the sound, of fake processed and it's fully unoriginal
Music is choking and it's time to look around
[Chorus]
Pleading protest, i grab my heart and scream out loud, yeah
Come on! come on! come on!
No way out of this drought, no way
Who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
Who ever thought life would be this way
Life is hard but it's always getting better
So don't cry for today baby, no worries

Analog Boy

She lays awake at night
This ain't the way she wants it
It hurts so bad she cries herself to sleep
She can't have the body of a model
She wants it because she reads it in the magazines
Analog boy in a digital world
Don't be so digital
Analog boy in a digital world
Turn off your radio
We're so helpless to our technology
I don't want to be controlled by machines
Analog boy in a digital world
Don't be so digital
Our parents wonder
Why kids are growing up so fast
Conform, believe anything on tv
Buy your identity soon
And let the channel change you
Analog boy in a digital world
Don't be so digital
Analog boy in a digital world
Turn off your radio
We're so helpless to our technology
I don't want to be controlled by machines
Analog boy in a digital world
I couldn't believe my eyes when i woke up this morning
I looked at the sidewalk and there was a million people dressed the same
Who answered their cell phones at the same time
And all popped a pill for the same disorder
Can't be fat, no we can't have that
We're so far gone
Don't you see that we're so far gone
Analog boy in a digital world
Don't be so digital
Analog boy in a digital world
Don't be so digital
Analog boy in a digital world
Turn off your radio
We're so helpless to our technology
I don't want to be controlled by machines
Analog boy in a digital world
Well i'm giving up
Gonna do it right this time

Cornered

Standing in the rain, a broken window pane
Rain drops fall upon my head
Nothing left to do, repetition's turned me blue
And all of my thoughts are dead
I can see for miles, in every direction
I can see your hell, in your reflection
Tying up in bed, staring at her head
I wonder what she's thinkin now?
All my thoughts are true, of what i said to you
It seems so much like home right now
I can see you with your back to the wall
I will be there when you finally fall
Nothing left you could say this time
You can't weasel out this time but
I can see you with your back to the wall
Standing in the rain all the people look the same
The raindrops fall upon my head
Nothing left to do because my brain's too full of glue
Its like my mind is overfed
(nothing witty seems to come to mind though)
Cornered with your back to the wall
Cornered with your back to the wall...
