Most of us are just killing time 'til we die
Even those of us who believe
I've got empathy for apathy, I'm barely alive
Under the weight of feeling pointless being me
But that's what makes me special, yeah its how I relate
To the kid who can't make it all alone
Yeah, I'm just like you kid, so unique did
You know how great it is to be known?
Don't run away, I get my meaning from the ether, I've got 5 gigabytes a month (it's never enough!)
Don't talk that way, this is bringing us together, the whole world is always in touch (that can't be right!)
Don't look away, I fit the bible on a matchbook, no time to read it but hey (it'll never sell!)
Don't criticize me, there are demons in electrons, who am I going to obey?
Most of us are just doing that which we must
To make the time to get some time alone
I've got nothing but frustration for the way I behave
Like a king who never asked for his throne
But that's what makes me fearful, yeah it's all I can do
To hold my breath and wait for the end
I'm just like you dad, so sorry my bad
You know just what it's like to lose your friends
The apostles wrote epistles, I'm packing pistols and gum
I'm going to make a million dollar deal
There's a part of me that's horrified at what I've become
While the rest of me was made to lie and steal
Most of us will just throw up our hands in despair
When then sword of fire and judgment finally comes
There is a part of me I know that really wants to be there
While every other atom screams to run
OBEY!
