about

With friends like this, who needs friends? Don't pull my plug from the wall!

lyrics

When I’m feeling lonely I go out on the wire
To find some friends and make myself a little social proof
Don’t want to stand in line where there’s no line
Don’t want to get the things no one else is getting
Please don’t leave me alone

Because here, in the virtual, I’m safe, so popular
I’m a minor kind of star – a sun to warm the tundra
In the Land of Not

Not really addiction – just something that I always need (always, always)
How many likes and viewers? I’ll buy some more subscribers
Hey, how you like my numbers? (I got way more than you)
I know you think that it’s a crazy way to measure
But I grow inches from the comments left by strangers
Don’t pull my plug from the wall

Because here, in the virtual, I feel strong, unstoppable
I’m a minor kind of star – expanding like a nova
To the Land of…

Not what it seems - welcome to the land of
Not in your dreams - only in the land of - not...

Collecting faces, I’ve got so many good friends (so many good friends)
But it’s the Land of Not, so, I’ve never met them (no, never, not, never, not)
No, they won’t leave me alone

And here in the virtual – so comfortingly simple
Clicking for buried treasure – I’m mining on the surface
Of the Land of Not

In the Land of Not it’s not, it’s not, because it’s not, it’s not
In the Land of Not it’s not, it’s not, no not, it’s not, because it’s…

In the Land (in the land, in the land) of Not
In the Land...of Not
