From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turn it off...
Every now and then, I get a bit addicted, think I won't come round
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I sort of collapse from exhaustion, Wikipedia's got me by the ears
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I get a little bit nervous that I've passed on to the afterlife
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I get a little bit terrified, and realise my tears have encrusted my eyes
Turn it off, for God's sake...
Every now and then, I think I'm Bart
Turn it off, for Christ's sake...
Every now and then, I think I'm Bart
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I feel blood clots forming in my legs so I get up but then fall to the ground
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I feel like HAL 9000 just as Dave Bowman rips out his hard drive
Turn it off...
Every now and then, I get a little bit terrified, and realise my tears have encrusted my eyes
Turn it off, for God's sake...
Every now and then, I think I'm Bart...
Don't you have a Facebook?
Every now and then, I think I'm Bart...

And I want to log out tonight
I need to more than ever
Before my social life completely dies
I can't keep editing that article on Heather
People know enough about how her leg stays on tight
And I'm reaching the end of my tether
I'll take this addiction to the end of my life
Wikipedia stands over me all the time
Preying on every single one of my thoughts
I hear something on the radio, and need to look it up
I really need to look it up
Heather's getting an edit tonight
Bonnie's getting an edit tonight

Once upon a time I was thought it was love
In fact it was mania to the point I got vexed
I can't quit cold turkey,
A Total Edit to the Text
Once upon a time I had goals in my life
But now I'm writing this in the dark
Think I'll edit the article
On Total Eclipse of the Heart
A total edit to the text

Turn it off...
They all said
Turn it off...
so I did
Turn it off...
Every now and then I think
It's a monitor when it's a TV
Turn it off...
Every now and then I think
My stereo will play the Windows startup sound
Turn it off...
Every now and then I think
My laptop still has a functioning screen
Turn it off...
Every now and then I think
Oh God, I forgot to eat
Turn it off...use YouTube...
Every now and then I think I'm Bart
Da da da...filler...
Every now and then I think I'm Bart

I was eating out tonight,
With my girlfriend from highschool
And when I checked the clock
It was basically four in the morning
Damn, she probably thinks I stood her up
Screw it, I'll edit this thing on a wickiup
I can take this kind of thing to the grave
On my tombstone there'll be a jigsaw globe
And the grinning face of Jimbo
And the epitaph will say
'This guy died editing Cyanide
A pill of which he took one'

Once upon a time I was a skilled editor,
Now I'm just an obsessive revisor,
I'll go rollback a page
Total Edit to the Text
Once upon a time I think I might have had a wife
To be honest I can't even remember
Looks like I'm stuck this way,
A Total Edit to the Text
