My friend's a computer hacker But in school everybody said he was a slacker He writes science fiction novels He builds whole towns and villages from cola bottles
He does equations just for fun Eats low carb ice cream with his mum Sews Cub Scout badges on his sweater
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right 'Cos he never realized, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA Loving everyday, well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker, yeah
She stays up all night playing Tetris Asteroids, Pacman, written on his games to get list Wasted nights spent up in his bedroom Tough times, long nights, must have been a lot to get through
He's getting sharp pains in his wrist In his world girlfriend's don't exist Can't even get an add on MySpace
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right 'Cos he never realized, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA Loving everyday, well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker, yeah
He's the one all alone in despair He's the one who thinks life isn't fair He's the one sitting right over there He's the lonely guy on the side looking kinda shy You could see him ride, passing by on a pedal bike He's the funny type kinda like Napoleon Dynamite
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right 'Cos he never realized, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after Stoked to be alive with his dream job up at NASA Loving everyday, well, I guess it really pays to be a slacker, yeah It pays to be a slacker, yeah
