Tables And Chairs - Andrew Bird

If we can call them friends
Then we can call them on their telephones
And they won't pretend that they're too busy
Or they're not alone
And if we can them friends, then we can call
Holler at 'em down these hallowed halls
Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor
At all

Don't
Don't you worry about the atmosphere
Or any sudden pressure change
'Cause I know that it's starting to get warm in here
And things are starting to get strange

And did you
Did you see how all our friends were there
And they were drinking roses from the can
And how
How I wish I had talked to them
And I wish they fit into the plan

And we were tired of being mild
We were so tired of being mild
And we were tired

I know we're gonna meet some day
In the crumbled financial institutions of this land
There will be tables and chairs
There'll be pony rides and dancing bears
There'll even be a band

'Cause listen, after the fall there'll be no more countries
No currencies at all
We're gonna live on our wits,
We're gonna throw away survival kits
Trade butterfly knives for Adderall

And that's not all
Woah
There will be snacks
There will
There will be snacks
There will be
There will be snacks

And we were tired of being mild
We were so tired of being mild
And we were [so] tired

So don't you
Don't you worry about the atmosphere

@animation508 Lol i was just about to make a post identical to yours when i read this. It`s a very dark idea for such a happy song. It`s all about the end of modern life and the simplicity of a new age. To be honest i find it hard to listen to this song because even though its an incredible song the idea behind it scares the crap out of me :S

[djukicsofija2]

it is so Christmastic. :)

@animation508 to each his own 

[thesocialnerd]

@robfairs isn't that essentially a light bulb?

[animation508]

@SkiethxEpitaph that's a really blatant interpretation of the meaning of that line. Listen to the whole song, it talks about the decline of civilization. He's boasting about simple items, table and chairs, and snacks, while making it sound as if it will be a wondrous place ("pony rides and dancing bears"). The atmosphere quote is saying "don't worry about climate change, you'll destroy society first".

There will be snacks, there will.
