Look up, power down your cel phone
Line is busy, the call's not free
Something's up in the days of plenty

Too many people marking absentee
At a time when you had more money
Smiled and drove along happily

But no matter what your mind is thinking
I can hear you body singing


But if you're happily sedated
In the life that you created
Those who only disagree

Will shut the book and let it be

Get out from under your headphones

Shuffle up from your MP3s
If you want to draw my attention
Open up your mouth, stop texting me

There were days when skies were sunny
But it shifted so violently
No matter what you the future's bringing

I can hear your body singing

But if you're happily sedated

Thinking life is overrated
Take a page from history
Shut the book and let it be


Haven't you heard your religion's withdrawn
So buddy get your dogma off of my front lawn


Because I'm happily sedated
In a life unincoporated

I may not ever come around
But my boots are firmly on the ground


We're all happily sedated
Life unccontemplated
Take a page from history

Shut the book and let it be
