Lyrics: Disconnected

You have two messages. First message…

Turn up the thermostat
It’s only fifty damn degrees
Everybody is so warm and I’m so cold
You’re saying “can you believe that?”
“She’s got seventeen tattoos”
“And she sings about the blues and she’s suburban”
Everybody’s so obsessed with everybody else
I didn’t know that so and so broke up, I was busy paying bills
I don’t always think I’m right, but I know I’m wrong

I’m trying so hard to get through
I’m trying so hard to hear you
There’s so much static in the line that I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder of the fool (?)
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It’s no wonder I’m so disconnected

Second message…

So tell me; why you gotta laugh?
I guess I must have missed the joke
Your XX bullshit’s got me tired
I guess you know just where it’s at
You gotta have the latest things
You keep your friends impressed another minute longer
I can only imagine how uncomfortable it is inside that skin
Having to stretch and mould to society, its trouble fitting in (?)
Do you always think you’re right, but you know you’re wrong?

I’m trying so hard to get through
I’m trying so hard to hear you
There’s so much static in the line that I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder of the fool (?)
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It’s no wonder I’m so disconnected

The person you are trying to reach; Alecia Moore, has been temporarily disconnected. Please hang up and try again later. Unblock (?) yourself if you wish to be disconnected

I’m trying so hard to get through
I’m trying so hard to hear you
There’s so much static in the line that I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder of the fool (?)
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It’s no wonder, it’s no wonder, it’s no wonder

I’m trying so hard to get through
I’m trying so hard to hear you
There’s so much static in the line that I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder of the fool (?)
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It’s no wonder I’m so disconnected
