Link to link, no I don′t stand a chance And we can turn off the lights the sun's coming up No dreams tonight to interrupt. The scrolling information pulls me in and holds me in a trance. Turn off the alarm before it sounds And get out of bed without putting your head down, down I've been closing my eyes real tight But the space between my lids betrays the light So I′m up again, I lost the will to fight. It′s like I don't have the patience, Or the will power to separate myself From this inundating era I′ve been dealt And all across the nation pixelated screens light up the night Of insomniacs and night owls alike But we can turn off the lights the sun's coming up No dreams tonight to interrupt.
