Lyrics
What you do and where you live
Updates and percentages
Information array
You are efficient and you’re very business-y
Some testimonials in impressive industries
But there’s nothing else
You are a profile with a picture and a tie
Recommendations and biographies, high fives
But there’s nothing else
To show
(Not that they know)
(Not that they know)
There’s mild arousal at the newbie from accounts
You’re fun at parties but not much around the house
If there’s nothing else
(Inside four walls)
You have a desk in a tall building from a track
That you commute from
Sometimes picture going back
When there’s nothing else
(To end it)
What you do and where you live
Updates and percentages
Information array
What they know and what they can’t
Commerce always outshines art
Information array
Hard drugs at soft play
You’re a weekend kind of man
If no-one clocks you
You’ll take anything you can
If there’s nothing else
And I remember you from class of way-back-when
Before the aching desperation and descent
Into nobody
Into nobody
(Not that I know)
What you do…
What you do and where you live
Updates and percentages
Information array
(I tried to look the other way)
What they know and what they can’t
Commerce always outshines art
Information array
(They can see you)
