Very Busy People

Album: Get Sharp (2009)

  • We'll end up numb from playing video games
    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 mix tapes
    And photoshopping pictures of ourselves
    While we masturbate to those pixelated videos
    Of strangers fuckin themselves

    We are very busy people
    We are very busy people

    There's crusty sox 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
    Let's just piss away the day (piss away the day)
    Crank-call the cops down at the station
    Just for friendly conversation
    Requesting songs they never play

    Lets hear the on that goes like:
    We are very busy people
    We are very busy people
    But we always got time for new friends

    So come on over and knock on our door
    It's open, what you waitin for?
    We might be sprawled out on the floor
    But we still make lovely company
    Pull up a chair
    Ill pour some tea
    We'll shoot the shit 'bout everything
    Till you get sick of all the things and flip on the TV screen
    We stare at the TV screen

    That Danny Darko DVD has been repeating for a week
    And we know every single word (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

    And all the best of them go:
    Fa-la-la-la-la-la
    Fa-la-la-la-la-la

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

    Fa-la-la-la-la-la
