Lift Your Head Up!

lyrics

LYRICS

Whatever happened to the bookstore
Why did they ever shut the door?
People don’t want to read anymore
Or was it that way before?
Now I only check the headline
As if there was a deadline
To know the least of anything
I need to quiet down and think

Whatever happened to the bookstore
Is this the new way to be
I’m always looking at my TV phone
And I forgot how to see
Now I cannot shoot the messenger
Because the message isn’t real
It’s just a picture on my TV phone
I’ll never know how it feels

You’ve got to
Lift your head up Lift your head up Lift your head up Lift your head up now
You think you’re social when you’re all alone
Whatever happened to humanity
Type the missive to your TV phone
Is it society or batteries

You’ve got to
Lift your head up lift your head up lift your head up lift your head up now!
You’ve got to
Lift your head up Lift your head up Lift your head up Lift your head up now
Whatever happened to my singing soul
How did we ever lose the poetry
I’m gonna blow up all the TV phones
And you can find me at the library
