Dido Song on the Radio Lyrics by ABSRDST

2016 Was 666 Years Ago

2020

[Verse 1]
I'm eight years old
I’m sitting in my mom's car
I never even sinned yet
I'm not even old enough to know that something’s wrong
The radio is playing
The Dido song called "Thank You"
But tears are in her eyes and she's been crying all week long
And somewhere in my heart
I know what she is thinking
"How'd I end up like this, I just wish I could be strong"
I'm ready for the key change
I know this song gets happy
I know this song gets happy
[Chorus]
It happened to the kids
There's dirt all over their faces
They cried amongst their friends
They wanted to be famous
Instead they all got sick
A generation wasted
Now they cry alone
They live in databases
It happened to the kids
There's dirt all over their faces
They cried amongst their friends
They wanted to be famous
Instead they all got sick
A generation wasted
Now they cry alone
They live in databases
[Verse 2]
Sixteen years of looking at my screen now
The URL forbidden
Finally I'm old enough to know that something's wrong
I guess this is my life now
I disappear in drawings
I know that looking at this means that I’ll never belong
I’m walking 'round my school
Keeping it a secret
I pretend that I’m not queer and they just play along
I'm ready for the key change
I hope this song gets happy
I hope this song gets happy
[Chorus]
It happened to the kids
There's dirt all over their faces
They cried amongst their friends
They wanted to be famous
Instead they all got sick
A generation wasted
Now they cry alone
They live in databases
It happened to the kids
There's dirt all over their faces
They cried amongst their friends
They wanted to be famous
Instead they all got sick
A generation wasted
Now they cry alone
They live in databases
