[Verse 1]
Fake friends
Livin' life to pretend
New trends
Only fun 'til they end

[Pre-Chorus]
How loud do you shout
To drown others out?
It's all for a show
Do they know what's below?

[Chorus]
Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby

[Verse 2]
Blue light
Finding it hard to sleep
At night
I'm falling into the deep
[Pre-Chorus]
You play to the crowd
It echoes around
Do you hear your voice
Above all of the noise?

[Chorus]
Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Behind the glass, the people watch
They laugh, they cry, they can't switch off
Oh, so beautifully odd
It's a twenty-first century hobby
Behind the glass, they stop and stare
The joy is gone, but they're still there
We're not made to compare
But it's a twenty-first century hobby
