The Defiant, "Dead Language" from If We're Really Being Honest (Mike Papa Whiskey)
Commentary: "Dead Language" is a darker reflection on the same phenomena as The Aquabats!' "Pajamazon!"
"Why go outside and leave this space?
I’ve got the A.C. blasting my face,
And I’d feel awkward and out of place,
I’ve got everything I need right here.
At my fingertips, literally,
There’s an app for everything.
So why go back to reality?
It’s clearly overrated, my dear…
"And now we walk like zombies in the land of the lost,
A pre-fabricated universe, our eyes are all crossed,
Rest in peacе, you dead language, and the timе that you’ve cost,
Thank the Lord for opposable thumbs!
Asleep at the wheel, crawling from the curb to the door,
I’ve had some deep conversations with my living room floor.
I should’ve died at twenty-seven like my heroes before,
But I was too busy having fun,
And now we're too busy getting dumb!…"
