lyrics

I got a 4-track mind
I wonder all the time
about the analog hiss
and the magnet's kiss
so I'll stay in tonight
where it ain't so bright
and keep my headphones on
right through the orange dawn
And it'll dawn on everyone
everyone in this Blundertown
who drinks from plastic grails
to their alpha males
man I'm too young or old
to give them all my time
They'll discard it before its prime
garbage in garbage out
how can you act so proud around me?

You celebrate the mundane
mediocre strain
and play it safe and sound
in your Blundertown
and if you don't succeed
no need to try again
because failure
just might be your style.
Still I'll be back in a little while
for now I'll busy my night
in the faders' light
and keep myself occupied
