Disconnected

[Dedicated to Juliette & the Licks, Wolfmother & all the rock'n'roll bands that have been, are and will ever be walking the Earth. Yeah!]

Oh! Now I see! But I feel so sad about it...

I watch TV, and I get so mad about it!

Then I get out but, not a bloody one's on the street;

So I shout out! And only the police come to hear it...

Then I get so disconnected!

What I need is creative interaction.

Oh! What I need is intelligence augmentation.

And I plead for neurohacking education;

But my creed is not shared by my fucking Nation...

Thus I get so disconnected!

Well I mean deeply aggravated,

And I'm so terribly unheeded!

O I feel so disconnected...

All around I see cheers and high ambitions,

But towns abound of clinical case affections.

I comply with their stupid rules and social customs

But I cry at their silent deadly boredoms...

And then I feel so disconnected!

Well I mean deeply aggravated,

And I'm so terribly unheeded!

O I feel so disconnected...

But I can't allow that to happen

Not too many times, not too long

Or my mind will get misshapen

And I'll never be saved by the gong...

And then I feel so disconnected!

Well I mean deeply aggravated,

And I'm so terribly unheeded!

O I feel so disconnected...

So, okay, right then, fuck it! All of this is just an illusion... This is not real!

It's all about prejudice...I must focus, damn it! Yeah...

Then I hear chanting birds in the morning, and I see that is good...

I see the sun shining through the willow tree, and then I smile again...

I feel the breeze skimming on my skin

I feel some fresh air entering my lungs

Yeah! That's right... It's all happenin' right here! Right now!

And then I hop in my car, I start it up, I reach the tar...

And then, yeah, right then I put the gas on, dude! And the cd player too...

I slide a cd in, and then I shuffle up!

A littl' bit of suspense and err...

And then Juliette starts the show!

She's speaking my language, ya know...

All of a sudden everything's clear again!

I'm so happy I can feel no pain

Come around, sweet littl' queen, come around!

Ooh! Thrill me with your voice's sound...

And all the other guys are coming in

Get it on dudes, it's gonna be rockin'

Right here! Baby... Right now!

Yeah, as you say, Andrew: Right now...

Oh! Right now...

I'm feeling finally connected!

Well I mean profoundly acclimated

And I'm sure we're getting all united

Oh! I'm feeling finally connected...(x4)
