There was a story in the newspaper today about a guy who is missing his son's 12th birthday in order to queue up for the release of the new iPad. This song is for guys like him.
lyrics
Something's Missing
Out on my own
Between the straits
I read what I want to read
Download the greats
I learn what I need to learn
so I survive
Affirmation, validation
I'm alive
All alone
But I'm alright
All alone
But I'm alright....right?
80 gigs full of others thoughts
but something's missing
hardwired to appliances
but it's not so bad
Blue skies in my head
Into the distance
Rocks in my heart
Stop me feeling sad
All alone
But i'm alright
Don't come too close
'Cause I'm alright....right?
