Electronic Second Nature
I use to think that I was lonely When I was a young boy Doing what they told me (Living rather coldly) Too many lessons in the school class Stated my allegiance Mixing with the wrong class I lived at home with all my family Even had my own key It was given to me (Parents listened to me) Allowed to be alone (Then left me alone) There was never any friction Starring in my own film (A starring role in my film) It was my addiction (It was science fiction) You don't have to wait The world will carry on It's there in your face But it won't stay for long Let's be a nation And sit upon a throne Don't ever hesitate Just carry on The older boys were rather surly Living in the wrong place Made me grow up early But it was my home As I complete my own existence Staring at my own life (I look at the old one) Fading in the distance Down a semitone Smiling faces of the neighbors Proud of their endeavors Unemployed forever watch TV at home You don't have to wait The world will carry on It's there in your face But it won't stay for long Let's be a nation And sit upon a throne Don't ever hesitate Just carry on
