My life is a stereo how loud does it go
                         What songs do I know
                         What happened to my plans
                         What ever happened to the life I thought I'd have

                         My life is a stereo kind of cheaply made though
                         How bad does it show what ever happened to my friends
                         What ever happened to the likes of all of them

                         My life is a stereo turn me on and let's go
                         Turn me up louder I'll scream as loud and clear as I
                         Can scream if you like what your hearing hang on to me


                                                                            I like being here and I'm hooked up all wrong
                                                                             Hang on to me though - I'm one in a million

                                                                                   And my lights are like candles

                                                                                  I'm so afraid of new technology
                                                                                I'm in the race and I don't want to be
                                                                              Can we stop pretending put it off on me
                                                                                            I'm in the race
                                                                         Life ends in a stereo pack pack me up and let's go
                                                                                Put me anywhere and I'll be just fine
                                                                              Please don't think of leaving me behind
