Here we are,987Please respect copyright.PENANAHYLQYWxVHO
living our lives in perpetual depression,987Please respect copyright.PENANAgEKRQUZSoV

Can't blame your folks or the people buried under the floorboards,987Please respect copyright.PENANAJqWsjSxN0n

Too much money, kids of the millennium don't know what to do with it,987Please respect copyright.PENANAuXsqey3DCr
they chew on it,987Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yl4IXoKUG
but end up wanting nothing to do with it

just blink as the pictures scroll past987Please respect copyright.PENANAeTLPIKX4KB

Carry relief in your pocket, 987Please respect copyright.PENANAuPDfLrFxhp
escape from a pin drop,987Please respect copyright.PENANAbgwrmCC27B
easy pleasures manufactured so that you never have to stop,987Please respect copyright.PENANAYJtAU1sLNY

But what about the "mini you" that cries out in your pocket,987Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7haItvKn5
trends, stats, graphs, your individuality docket.987Please respect copyright.PENANAPm7jrVGRlS
So preoccupied with the new that we never learned how to lock it987Please respect copyright.PENANA6m5DKeC8Xa
away from the thieves who knew just how to make off with it.

And here's the thing,987Please respect copyright.PENANAlEDO1kBtSi
all we need from you is the time before and after a blink.
Turn your face into a painting,987Please respect copyright.PENANAD9IjY9yE4C
so when you look in the mirror you don't see an animal fading.987Please respect copyright.PENANAurl4ig1Ptr
The small jaw, no chin, crooked teeth and pimples,987Please respect copyright.PENANAVM07JfEzvk
give up a few weeks of your life so your smile can finally have dimples.
Now I'm not saying the world's finally ready to blow.987Please respect copyright.PENANATh5aYjuHuG

drink sound, live games, eat words,
and enjoy the show.
