lyrics

Internet Killed the Video Store  
Baby I’m sorry for going away  
I’ll be absent on valentines day
 Because I’ve got some shit to do  
That’s more important than you  

I paid to get some drugs  To quit the drugs  
To get paid to do some drugs
  & I’m sure that the Money I make  
Will be budgeted to get me safe
 I’ve just got 12 days to wait  I’ve just got 12 days to wait   

Found the love I’m searching for  
Found love for thyself  
You know who I am
So don’t treat me
Like I’m somebody else
 I seen the misery of living a lie  
Everyday these are the days of our lives  
& the DVD killed the VHS cassette 
& John Wilkes Booth killed the 16th president 
& The Internet Killed the Video Store

  Where am I gonna rent the flix 
That I rented in 96
