Andrew Vanwyngarden expresses his feelings towards social networking, and references Facebook with the line "stab your Facebook."
==Music video==

It shows the two lead members of the band, Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, at a welcome-home party. Ben touches a bandage at his neck a few times, with Andrew pulling his arm away from it each time. Ben removes the bandage to reveal a hole in his throat. An eel is pulled out of the hole, which is then shoved into a machine and presumably destroyed. The house trembles and the guests of the party dance as the machine emits lights, violently shaking. The video ends with a picture from outside the house showing something exploding inside and a guttural sound as the camera moves.
==Lyrics==
 
Mild apprehension 
Blank dreams of the coming fun 
Distort the odds of a turnaround 
Gut screams out next to none 
So turn it on, tune it in 
And stay inert 
You say, "I've got the backbone" 
The back way to escape the gun 
Climbing a tree with a missing limb 
And not saving anyone 
And now it hurts to stay at home 
And see flash 
The mirror ball's throwing mold 
And you can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold 
You see the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt 
And if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt 
Plants, as far as I know, are still 
Still bending towards the light 
And if we dance until the heart explodes 
It will make this place ignite 
And even if this hall collapses 
I can stand by my pillar of hope 
It's just a case of flash delirium 
Here's a growing culture deep inside a corpse 
Ages stuck together, taking it to the source 
Timeless desperation, pictures on a screen scream 
"Hey, people, what does it mean?" 
Comfort keeps us nice 
So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives) 
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen) 
And time's tingling spines 
Attaching hands to floor 
The rosy-tinted flash 
The hot dog's getting cold 
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones 
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt 
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt 
Lines when I close my eyes and just (Why close one eye and try to) 
Aim blindly at the sun (Pledge allegiance to the sun) 
And hear love when the ghosts start singing 
(When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone) 
Terrorizing everyone 
And (geometric troops aligning) 
(Carried up to the burial mounds) with gold 
It's a heavy time but your (My earthbound heart is heavy) 
Your rhythm makes it light (Your heartbeat keeps things light) 
And explode like a violent star keeps (With the violence forever) 
(Threatening the night) 
And (even if this hall collapses) 
(I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust) 
That our heads won't bust 
66 55 red battleships 
40 earthlike planets 
3 holes 2 tits 
1 fork in its side 
Zero tears in their eyes 
Sue the spiders, sink the Welsh 
Stab your Facebook, sell, sell, sell 
Undercooked, overdone 
Mass adulation not so funny 
Poisoned honey, pseudo-science 
Silly money, you're my honey!
