  • I was woken by a bang
    And I could already taste the shame
    The sudden fear that grips and shakes you
    When you face the truth
    Whose sofa was this?
    Where were my shoes?
    What did we do last night?
    I don't remember leaving Nathan's house

    Ah yeah, how could I forget
    Why my pants were soaking wet?
    When we'd been pissing ourselves
    Laughing at the news
    Did you see it too?
    It was incredible
    They played it on a loop
    Basically, they'd discovered

    That there were others just like us
    Other beings and other creatures
    And other planets and other species
    Who had other gods that they believed in
    And they interviewed all of them
    Everyone of them, it's true
    None of them had a single clue
    What they were doing here either

    It's all so pointless, it is
    And I find that humbling, sincerely
    And when you're gone
    It brings me peace of mind to know
    That this'll all just carry on
    With someone else (someone else)
    With something new (something new)
    There's no need to be blue
    Everything has already happened, time is an illusion

    It's hippy bullshit but it's true
    Come with us

    Now we're off to meet them
    So best impress them
    Don't want them thinking we've been sat here
    Doing nothing, now do we, Elton? It's alright
    I've had more hits than I've had hot dinners
    Is that how we define this life's winners?
    The numeric so imperative
    That without them we'll forget how to simply be

    It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
    Watch me explode

    It's all so pointless, ah
    But it's not though, is it?
    It's really real and when you feel it
    You can really feel it
    Grab somebody that you love
    Grab anyone who needs to hear it
    And shake 'em by the shoulders
    Scream in their face

    Death is coming for us all, but not today
    Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
    Give it everything you've got knowing that you can't take this with you
    And all you've ever needed to exist has always been within you
    Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
    Cut it with a hundred percent endurance

    It's all so pointless, it sure is
    And when you're gone
    It makes me stronger knowing
    That all of this will carry on
    With someone else (someone else)
    With something new (something new)
    It's not like there's gonna be nothing, is it? Writer/s: James Smith, Ryan Needham, Sam Shjipstone
