lyrics

I never make it down to the record store
I don't know what all the kids are singing
I just sing what I sang before
And it makes me feel alright
I never turn on the MTV
Can't identify the rich and famous
They all look pretty sick to me
And it makes me feel alright

Here inside my little shell
I don't have to hear about all the things they're tryin' to tell me
Here inside my little shell
I think I get along pretty well

I never turn on the basketball
Keep forgetting 'bout the football season
Cuz I don't really watch sports at all
And it makes me feel alright
i never turn on the CNN
Sometimes look when someone else is watching
Whole world's goin' around the bend and ...
Well that doesn't make me feel alright but ...

Here inside my little shell
Don't even have to know about half the crap they're tryin' to sell me
Here inside my little shell
I think I get along pretty well

I'm still set on the internet
And I don't wanna shut it off just yet
Cuz I can still stay pretty out of touch and
Shut it off before I get too much

And I like to go to the movie show
I like to see the big Hobbit movie
They got them big furry Hobbit toes
And it makes me feel alright
But I don't wanna be no James Bond
Don't wanna be no Ben Kenobi
I kind of think I got it goin' on
And it makes me feel alright

Here inside my little shell
My cell phone's turned off right now
You'll have to wait until I turn it on again cuz
Here inside my little shell
I think I get along
