Cut the Cord Lyrics

I wonder what it would be like

To build a cabin in the woods

Play Thoreau for just a while

Sometimes I think I should

Sometimes I think I should

Break out of this electric fence

Pretend that it's the good old days

Cut myself off, live in present tense

If you wanted you could come and stay

If you wanted you could come and stay

I don't mean to be ungrateful

All of my problems sound so first world

The answers are hard to see

But we're not all that we can be

But society is all online

It'd be too hard to stay in touch

I couldn't tear out all my wires

Might get lonely cause I think too much

Might get lonely cause I think too much

I don't mean to be ungrateful

All of my problems sound so first world

The answers are hard to see

But we're not all that we can be

Can't blame the world for what it is

Don't miss the state of nature

We were struggling just to exist

So we named ourselves "creator"

So we named ourselves "creator"

I don't mean to be ungrateful

All of my problems sound so first world

The answers are hard to see

But we're not all that we can be

And I don't know what the alternative would mean

Why can't I just close my eyes and go to sleep
