about

ATTENTION! This is not the totally sweet, absolutely bad-ass song by Hall and Oates. It's a crappy song Melissa wrote. Just kidding, it's pretty good. And it's message is relevant and should be read by everyone. High five to Mel for writing a great song!

lyrics

There's a man who died at his desk one day
And everyone thought he was tired
Four days later he still hadn't moved
He'd worked hard when he was first hired

How did no one know?
Poor old so and so
We're so out of touch
Out of touch

We don't pay attention to the people around us
What the hell is humanity?
We only know people by their profiles online
We live in pseudo-reality

What's an interface?
Such a great disgrace
We're so out of touch
Out of touch

Technology should make life more manageable
Intended to bring us together
The more I conform I feel so estranged
More alienated than ever

I could be that man
Out alone again
And so out of touch
Out of touch

Inter-office e-mails from the brick right next to you
Bringing work out to the bar, I do it too
No one has the time to say, "How do you do?"
I'd rather bbm my friends a big "F U"

What's an interface?
Such a great disgrace
We're so out of touch
Out of touch
