Very Busy People

(album: Get Sharp - 2010)

We'll end up numb from playing video games
And we'll get sick of having sex
And we'll get fat from eating candy
As we drink ourselves to death

We'll stay up late making mixtapes
Photoshopping pictures of ourselves
While we masturbate to these pixelated videos
Of strangers fucking themselves

We are very busy people
We are very busy people

There's crusty socks and stacks of pizza boxes
Making trails straight to the bed
And when we're done sleeping, we'll stay busy dreaming
Of the things we don't have yet

Well, there's a long, long list of chores
And shit to do before we play
Oh, let's just piss away the day
Crank-call the cops down at the station
Just for friendly conversation
Requesting songs they never play

Let's hear the one that goes like:
We are very busy people
We are very busy people
But we've always got time for new friends

So come on over and knock on our door
It's open; what ya waiting for?
We might be sprawled out on the floor
But we still make lovely company

Pull up a chair; I'll pour some tea
We'll shoot the shit 'bout everything
Till you get sick of politics and flip on the TV screen
We stare at the TV screen

That Donnie Darko DVD has been repeating for a week
And we know every single word
I've got an iPod like a pirate ship
I'll sail the seas with fifty thousand songs I've never heard

All the best of them go
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

We are very busy people
We are very busy people
But we've always got time for new friends

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
