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
    As we masturbate to those pixelated videos
    Of strangers fuckin themselves

    We are very busy people
    We are very busy people

    There are crusty sox and 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
    Crank-call the cops down at the station
    Just for friends conversation
    Requesting songs they never play

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

    So come 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 tired and flip on the TV screen
    We stare at the TV screen

    That Danny Darki DVD has been repeating for a week
    We know 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

    All the best of them go
    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
