My friend's a computer hacker   But in school everybody said he was a slacker   He writes science fiction novels   He builds whole towns and villages from cola bottles      He does equations just for fun   Eats low carb ice cream with his Mum   Sews Cub Scout badges on his sweater      He's just a feeling you ignore   A dumb computer hacker   Trash can on the floor   A pitiful disaster   Cried to sleep at night   When he never got it right   Cos he never realised   It doesn't even matter   Later on in life   He's drowning in his laughter   Three kids and a wife   He's happy ever after   Stoked to be alive   With his dream up at Nasa   Loving everyday   Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker      He stays up all night playing Tetris   Asteroids, Pacman written on his 'games to get' list   Wasted nights spent up in his bedroom   Tough times, long nights   Must have been a lot to get through      He's getting sharp pains in his wrist   In his world girlfrien's don't exist   Cna't even get an ad on 'My Space'   (poor guy)      He's just a feeling you ignore   A dumb computer hacker   Trash can on the floor   A pitiful disaster   Cried to sleep at night   When he never got it right   Cos he never realised   It doesn't even matter   Later on in life   He's drowning in his laughter   Three kids and a wife   He's happy ever after   Stoked to be alive   With his dream up at Nasa   Loving everyday   Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker      He's the one all alone in despair   He's the one who thinks life isn't fair   He's the one sitting right over there   He's the lonely guy on the side   Looking kinda shy   You could see him ride   Passing by on a pedal bike   He's the funny type   Kinda like 'Napoleon Dynamite'      He's just a feeling you ignore   A dumb computer hacker   Trash can on the floor   A pitiful disaster   Cried to sleep at night   When he never got it right   Cos he never realised   It doesn't even matter   Later on in life   He's drowning in his laughter   Three kids and a wife   He's happy ever after   Stoked to be alive   With his dream up at Nasa   Loving everyday   Well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker      It pays to be a slacker!   (And that's the truth)
