I hear there's a festival outside,

Laughing, joking, jostling and frolicking,

But I'm OK, I'll stay inside.

 

I heard they've brought Freddie back live on stage,

To rock and roll, it's all the rage,

But I'm OK, I'll read about it sometime.

 

I hear world peace has broken out finally,

Dancing and singing wildly

But I'm OK, I'll Youtube it later

 

I hear it's that family birthday time of year,

Cake, presents, the same faces,

But I'm OK, I'll catch it next year.

 

The outside is cold or too hot

Too busy, too far and too much

I'll just stay here where the lights and the screens crackle

Feeding my mind, body and soul to the shackle

 

I'll see you later, maybe...
