Slacker
Written by James Bourne/Michael Raphael

[Steve]:
My friend's a computer hacker
But in school everybody said he was a slacker
He writes science fiction novels
He builds whole towns and villages from cola bottles

[James y Steve]:
He does equations just for fun
Eats low carb ice cream with his mum
[J:]Sews cub scout badges on his sweater

Chorus:[Both - James leads vocals]
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive, with his dream job up at Nasa
Loving every day
[J:]Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker

[James]:
He stays up all night playing tetris
Asteroids, Pacman,
written on his games to get list
(Wasted) Wasted nights (nights)
spent up in his bedroom
Tough times, long nights,
must have been a lot to get through

[James y Steve]:
He's getting sharp pains in his wrist
In his world, girlfriends don't exist
Can't even get an add on MySpace

Chorus [Both - James leads vocals]
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive, with his dream job up at Nasa
Loving every day
[J:]Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker
[James]:
He's the one all alone in despair
He's the one who thinks life isn't fair
He's the one sitting right over there
He's the lonely guy, on the side, looking kind of shy
You could see him ride, passing by, on a pedal bike
He's a funny type, kinda like Napoleon Dynamite

[Both - James leads vocals]
He's just a feeling you ignore, a dumb computer hacker
Trashcan on the floor, a pitiful disaster
Cried to sleep at night when he never got it right
Cause he never realised, it doesn't even matter
Later on in life, he's drowning in his laughter
Three kids and a wife, he's happy ever after
Stoked to be alive, with his dream job up at Nasa
Loving every day
[J:]Well I guess it really pays to be a slacker, yeah
Pays to be a slacker, yeah
