Knock knock, are you there? |
| [00:20.780] |
Sorry to wake you, my fellow bear |
| [00:23.967] |
I'll slip this song under a rock somewhere |
| [00:27.050] |
So you can hear it when it's summer |
| [00:34.808] |
It hurts to hear you been exhausted |
| [00:37.760] |
I've seen too many people 'round me haunted |
| [00:41.025] |
By the cruelest to-do lists |
| [00:44.317] |
Longer than the end credits of movies |
| [00:52.284] |
It shocked me to hear about Avicii |
| [00:55.157] |
Did you see that documentary? |
| [00:58.292] |
I read Avicii means hell in Buddhism |
| [01:01.662] |
And hell is what his dream had become |
| [01:09.551] |
That scene when he tried to cancel those shows |
| [01:12.921] |
Made me think back on some years ago |
| [01:16.108] |
So scared of letting anyone down |
| [01:19.477] |
I worked myself slowly into the ground |
| [01:28.855] |
Felt the cortisol pumping through my sleep |
| [01:32.277] |
When an ad flashed by in my Facebook feed |
| [01:35.752] |
A cheap DNA cloning kit |
| [01:38.939] |
Didn't know technology had made it there yet |
| [01:48.761] |
Connected it to a USB hub |
| [01:51.869] |
Dabbed saliva on a cotton bud |
| [01:55.056] |
Gave my passwords to all my email accounts |
| [01:58.374] |
And slowly a body rose from the ground |
| [02:06.211] |
With more clones of me we would have moretime |
| [02:09.397] |
One could write the tune and the other therhymes |
| [02:12.715] |
A third could focus on the business |
| [02:15.771] |
And a fourth would send greeting cards for Christmas |
| [02:23.922] |
But soon our focus fell apart |
| [02:26.926] |
I said "guys, if all of us do our part |
| [02:30.348] |
We could make it to the moon with our art |
| [02:33.900] |
Not because it's easy, but because it's hard |
| [02:43.278] |
But because it's hard |
| [02:47.876] |
|
| [02:50.175] |
I heard the clones bragging |
| [02:53.074] |
About all the sleep they'd been missing |
| [02:56.418] |
They posted vids of them sipping |
| [02:59.500] |
On a smoothie while their eyes were twitching |
| [03:07.807] |
Coffee for lunch, email for dinner |
| [03:10.837] |
In those press photos we ve never looked thinner |
| [03:14.155] |
Exhaustion only happens to a winner |
| [03:17.237] |
Wear it like a badge of honour |
| [03:25.231] |
It was not until clone number one |
| [03:28.862] |
Was hospitalized with palpitations |
| [03:32.232] |
That they asked themselves what they'd done |
| [03:35.628] |
And were horrified by what they had become |
| [03:45.267] |
And the slaves turned on their master |
| [03:49.264] |
Filmed me while they kicked my ass there |
| [03:52.581] |
And posted it with the caption |
| [03:55.977] |
Smash the capitalist system |
| [04:01.959] |
|
| [04:05.695] |
So I hope you slept well in your bear's den |
| [04:09.456] |
I hope you're back on your feet again |
| [04:12.826] |
But if you should need the time to |
| [04:16.065] |
Take the next month off and I'll cover for you |
| [04:23.197] |
