New Media by The Bedroom Philosopher Lyrics

I work in New Media
I'm pretty damned important
Don't ask me to explain what I do
I don't work with words

Have you ever heard of sound art
I sincerely doubt you have
Some awful fax machine noises
Going backwards, cat on a piano
Dad calls it self-unemployment

I call it being brave!
I'm changing the world
One non commissioned piece at a time

I'm on my way to a meeting
I having coffee with a guy
He's got projects
Were gonna talk about our projects
High level stuff and things
I haven't had a shower
I slept in till eleven
I'm full of ideas
I'm so burdened with ideas
I can't get out of bed
Oh I work in New Media
Cross hybrid multi platform
I'll create an installation
You won't get it, that's the point

Oh I work in New Media
I wish I had my own private tram
I've got big plans

And I went to Uni
And I did Fine Arts
And look at me I've got projects
Don't ask me what they are

I've got a data projector
And an Arts Space
It's full of boxes at the moment
But you should come around
I'll show you some stuff

It'll blow your little minds
I've got a short film called "Journey"
It's an animated montage digital projection
Of me giving birth to myself
Yeah, Pretty cool, huh?
I work in New Media
I live in fucking Melbourne
Do you realise where you are, look around

It's like New York with trams
It's like New York with trams
New York with trams
I can't explain what I do
I don't have to explain what I do, to you, do I
Look at you, Look at you

I've had these jeans on for six weeks
And this expression for hours
I lost my wallet, It's okay there's no money in it

Oh I work in New Media

Sure they did
Yeah I've got enough fucking clue
No I didn't buy a ticket
I was going to get off at the next stop
I'm honest. Ok
Yes I understand there is a fine
Yeah I will tell you my address
But I work in new media
Public transport should be free
Under a socialist government
