Slacker

My friend's a computer hacker

But in school everybody said he was a slacker

He writes science fiction novels

He builds whole 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

Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right

'Cos he never realized 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

Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA

Loving everyday well I guess it really pays to be a slacker yeah

She stays up all night playing Tetris

Asteroids Pacman written on his games to get list

Wasted 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 girlfriend's 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

Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right

'Cos he never realized 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

Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA

Loving everyday well I guess it really pays to be a slacker yeah

He's the one all alone in despair

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 kinda shy

You could see him ride passing by on a pedal bike

He's the funny type kinda like Napoleon Dynamite

He's just a feeling you ignore a dumb computer hacker

Trashcan on the floor a pitiful disaster

Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right

'Cos he never realized 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

Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA

Loving everyday well I guess it really pays to be a slacker yeah

It pays to be a slacker yeah
