Fake friends
Livin' life to pretend
New trends
Only fun 'til they end

How loud do you shout
To drown others out?
It's all for a show
Do they know what's below?

Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby

Blue light
Finding it hard to sleep
At night
I'm falling into the deep

You play to the crowd
It echoes around
Do you hear your voice
Above all of the noise?

Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby

Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby
