Brooks Nielsen
Social Man
Playing tag and acting cool
Lonely fools keep changing the rules
Heartless heart, it’s hard to choose
Underneath the glassy waters
Lies a churning whirlpool

What you lost should not concern you
Lurking from far, don’t mean that it can’t hurt you
Saying 'cheese', you’re just a rat
How long can you last on people’s trash?

Social man must remember how to disconnect

Social man must watch out
Not to cheat to get respect
Social man must be gentle
Or get caught in his own web

Social man must be careful
He might end up alone
When his cover is blown

Who you are, shooting star sini-star
Words are going to take their shape
Who you are, shooting star caviar
Everybody try to escape
Social man must remember how to disconnect

Most of your friends ain’t friends at all
How many ghosts can one soul hold?
So worked up on high alert
Don’t have nowhere to go
Once the lines get blurred

Who you are, shooting star sini-star
Words are going to take their shape
Who you are, shooting star caviar
Everybody try to escape

Social man must remember how to disconnect
