I don't know how to break the news, but
It's pretty clear you'll be asked to choose between
What you lack and what you excuse

In this tug of war
You can't say that they didn't warn you
Though you'd rather that they just ignore you
Cause your devices are not working for you anymore

What you want, you don't know
You're with stupid now
