Fireflies - Incompetentia (Owl City)

Incompetentia's second album - The Graduate Student: A Dissertation In Horribleness - is out! Buy it on iTunes through this link: http://tinyurl.com/y89f4yc

The original song: Happy innocent lyrics and happy music. Too much of one thing just isn't good. Everything in moderation! Therefore, a song with happy and yet slightly dark lyrics to somewhat counteract the happy music.

Lyrics:
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Helped me take over the world tonight
Right after I cut the power
I'd use them to light my scour
ing of the land
While you would sit and cower

I'd like to make myself believe
I would be kind and lenient
I'd like to say I would spare your life
But I'm not one for reprieves
And you'd just be another mouth to feed

But I'd have some helping hands
Destroying at my command
It's more fun when everything's on fire
And as we all watch and see
Descent into anarchy
Our overwhelming social fragility

I'd like to make myself believe
This would have happened sometime
It's hard to say I'm responsible
For everything you see
I only had the weapons you would need
To increase the speed

Why are you doing this to me
(You can't get away from here)
I have friends and also a family
(Well not anymore I fear)
At least my soul is not quite so vile
(You can't get away from here)
Even this is boring after a while

To ten million fireflies
Your job is done, so goodbye
The world is a much better place today
And if people ask me why
I killed their family I'll
have them know I ran out of Earl Grey one day

I'd like to make myself believe
Those that survive now thank me
It's hard to live when you just keep
Your boring same routine
'Cause all those things are artificial scenes
To placate the sheep

I'd like to make myself believe
Some disagree with this way
It's hard to say that this isn't the
Best way, dont you agree
'Cause all the useless people are deceased
We've shed all the least

I'd like to make myself believe
That there are happy endings
It's hard to find some evidence
So why be so naive
It's cruel to try to constantly deceive
