My friend's a computer hacker
But in school everybody said he was a slacker
He writes science fiction novels
He builds home towns and villages from cola bottles
He does equations just for fun
Eats low carb ice cream with his mum
Sews cub scout badges on his sweater
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cries to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
It's good to be alive, whit his dreams job on the NASA
Loving everyday
Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker
He stays up all night playing tetris
Asteroids, Pacman, written on his 'games to get' list
(Wasted) Wasted nights (nights) spent up in his bedroom
Tough times, long nights, must have been a lot to get through
He's getting sharp pains in his wrist
In his world, girlfriends don't exist
Can't even get an add on MySpace
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cries to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
It's good to be alive, whit his dreams job on the NASA
Loving everyday
Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker
He's the one all alone on the stairs
He's the one who thinks life isn't fair
He's the one sitting right over there
He's the lonely guy, on the side, looking kind of shy
You could see him ride, passing by, on the pedal bike
He's a funny type, kinda like Napolean Dynamite
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cries to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
It's good to be alive, whit his dreams job on the NASA
Loving everyday
Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker, yeah
Pays to be a slacker, yeah
kisses to Lola.
