It's Only HTML - Chris Middleton

Lyrics:

Applications call me forth
From slumber I don't want to leave
They ask to me accept requests
I don't want to receive
My breath is slow and jagged
From the backache I've contracted
My bed was meant for tougher folk
Whose spines are well-adapted

Don't you have something better to do?
Than taking the time to make yourself into
Someone you admire
Setting walls on fire
It's only HTML

I wish sometimes that all this shit
Would run aground on cyber sands
And leave me floating in its trails
The sweet remarks of one-day stands
I'd follow in their footsteps and count their wasted movements
And calculate the time they lost
While sailing through the You-tubes

But instead I'd rather watch
And waste my seconds too
And feel the wind nip at my neck
Playing Angry Birds 'til two
But isn't it the only child
That wants to stay up late
And wait until the spirits go
That keep his mind awake

I always wondered what I'd be
If Facebook hadn't called to me
Glad I rejected that request
To join in Farmville's timesuck-fest
