This song is the second joke of the album. I was trying to bring in more humour, because I am such a fan of Flight of the Conchords. I really really respect that they can incorporate the two. Obviously, I have't quite mastered it yet, because whenever I try to tell someone that this song is funny, they never agree.
lyrics
When you stand in a light place and close your eyes
It's brighter than a brighter than a sunrise
Open your eyes and it's all cold and receding
But after a while it seems fine
There's an equal balance of dark and light
It just makes you think you can get used to anything
Or when you change to a new brand
Of soap or listen to a new band
That your friend forced you to because because they're a fan
Didn't like it at first but now it's grown on you
You find yourself jamming to their funky tunes
What happened there? You got used to something
Get used to something, get used to anything
(To minimise the effect of change in external circumstance, simply forget anything ever changed)
Turns out you've been anemic this whole time
So you get some supplements of some kind
Take two daily with food [insert filler rhyme] *you call this art??*
Throws you off your routine for a couple days
Then become a habit of your morning daze
Get used to something, get used to anything
(To minimise the effect of change in external circumstance, simply forget anything ever changed)
So you’re living someone else’s dream
But your life is good, your life is clean
Do you change your glory, change your whole backstory because you got used to someone else’s something?
Get used to something, get used to anything
(To minimise the effect of change in external circumstance, simply forget anything ever changed)
