All of these folks   On the TV have their reasons   Like you on your hill   Consuming in mass with your buddies      Every time I watch them all go by   I take in a breath and let out a sigh   I don't know how much of this I can handle      Excuse me, is my rant taking too long?   Is it getting in the way of this lovely song?   Just promise me that you'll never leave   I'd die if you leave me      When I was young   All of these things didn't matter   But now times have changed   And I wasn't paying attention      So fuck you and your mass media toys   That make being alive seem like a chore   I don't know how much of this I can handle      Excuse me, is my rant taking too long?   Is it getting in the way of this lovely song?   Just promise me that you'll never leave   I'd die if you leave me
