The border is up, the server is down
I think there's trouble on your side of town
The TV is dead, the radio too
I tried to call in but I couldn't get through
The traffic is thick, the air's a bit green
They say it's happentance, whatever that means
The temperature's up, the market is down
Then bank is open but there's no one around
I'm an air miles junkie and a credit risk
A no-game monkey on a sucker list
Just a little bit stupid, and a little bit wise
It's a bad bit o' business in a... good disguise
Taxes are up, benfits down
I try to keep my back ahead of the hounds
Reception is weak, the message is poor
Don't want to hear about it any more
Everyone, everywhere
Lives alone in a tiny square
In boring bits and channel flips
The season's over and they called it quits
There's a trojan hiding in the message text
It's viral copy, it's a call collect
It's a little bit stupid, and a little bit wise
It's a bad bit o' business in a... good disguise
The border is up, the server is down
I think there's trouble on your side of town
Everyone, everywhere
Lives alone in a tiny square
