about
One Big File is Tired All the Time’s newest single. Sonically it continues to explore our attempts to graft new wave and stoner rock together. Lyrically, the song is about the darker consequences of a world that funnels isolated people into terrible acts which serve the purpose of isolating us further.
lyrics
Hanging on the bad screen
I wonder what’s the news tonight
Dinner from the microwave
A chicken ala SSI
He’s agreed to do the shooting
Someone call the FBI
They’ve got his number anyway
He’ll be on the news tomorrow night
(Chorus)
I meet a lot of lonely guys
Who spend a lot of lonely nights
On their own home computers oh no
They wish that they could leave somehow
They wish were human a human now
Who’s useless and is used for bad shit
A consequence of social change
Or message from an angry sky
A crisis in our parenting
They keep in one big file
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
