Tiny Glowing Screens, Part 1

[Chorus]

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens, glowing screens

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens

[Verse 1]

I’ve seen a person go to shows and raise a lighter app

But if you’re at my concert please don’t ever try that crap

Let’s set fire to the heavens

Turn the motherfucking speakers to 11, this is Spinal Tap

The future might defeat me, the internet can eat me

It really tastes like chicken when I bite the hand that feeds me

And I say me me, me me, play my CD, CD

Yes indeedy deedy

We be greedy and it’s tragic that we yawn

We got every gadget but don’t care there’s magic in our palm

‘Cause it’s been getting so hot, I can feel the slow rot

But let’s not die before we get to fuck a robot

Because we all need something to live for, something to live for, something to live for

We all need something to live for, something to live for

[Chorus]

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens, glowing screens

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens

[Verse 2]

There was a time before the pot really got strong

Before the hippies got jobs talking long, long

Before the people talked in English out in Hong Kong

Before the holy Dalai Lama had a dot com

Before God’s dad got it on with God’s mom

Before he made us pretty things on which to drop bombs

Before the war crimes

The rich and poor times

I’m talking in the land before The Land Before Time

But then the planet lost its baby fat and got crazy

And we’ve been acting like some fraidycats a lot lately

Something’ll kill us like cigarettes or the commies maybe

Or maybe AIDS or scabies, rabies or zombie babies

Even the KGB, pray we be free from ADD, wade in and bathe in Hades

No army or Navy’s saving me

And I can’t tell our little victories from epic fails

It’s either heaven or hell and I can’t make heads or tails

[Bridge]

Are we useless?

No excuses

We took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces

Are we useless?

No excuses

We took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces

We took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces

So raise your peace sign, if you’re not useless

Raise your peace sign, no excuses

We took the peace sign, reduced it to deuces

[Chorus]

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens, glowing screens

And when the sun burns out

We’ll light the world with tiny glowing screens

Tiny glowing screens
