Riff
When you said alright

I thought you meant alright

When you said that's fine

I thought you meant that's fine

G5 Riff
I guess some standards don't always apply


Riff
When that kid goes home

He always goes alone

He hides in the machine

And always stays fourteen

G5 Riff
Well there's really nothing wrong with the plan

G5 Riff
He goes to sleep at night and holds his own hand

G5 Riff
It's inconceivable but could be an end


D5 C F G Riff
Who brings you back when you go go go...

D5 C F G Riff
Who keeps saying your prayers when you blow them off

D5 C F G Riff
Who keeps alive the concept of mind

D5 C F G
Who cares to care when they're really scared

Riff
When they're really scaredBreak:

this has been here 5 yrs + and no comments? this is a rockin track from the gods...what a trip . the lyrics i think describe just a lonely kid, who is lost and probably pretty naive of course tossed in with the craziness of the sounds, the lyrics dont seem like much

The song is awesome, the lyrics kinda' vague. There's obviously the loner, the fourteen year old boy who has "blown 'em off", he has virtually no-one, perhaps he sits in front of his "machine"/computer all day? He has noone to care when he get's scared, and he obviously gets scared one day. He has someone who cares, probably family/parents. "When you said alright / I thought you meant alright". But he "blows them off" rather than to confess his own problems and loneliness. I can imagine this kid goes along and try to kill himself or something, because the person caring, asking the questions that are answered with "alright" at some point suddenly realize that the boy didn't really mean "alright" at all.
