Lyrics
Intro
Mm-hmm
Yeah yeah
Plug it in
Mm
Verse 1
Cassette tape clicking in the deck
Rewind the whole thing just to hear it again
Floppy disk holding a whole world
Forty kilobytes and a dream
Dial-up screaming like it's waking up
Two bars loading on a fuzzy screen
Mom picks up the phone and everything dies
Still the greatest sound I ever heard
Chorus
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Praise the machines that got us higher
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Every beep and every buzz
(Praise the plastic)
Retro tech you built this place
(Every beep)
Pixel dust on every face
Drop
Beep boop beep yeah
Beep boop beep yeah
Verse 2
Joystick worn from a thousand nights
Cartridge blowing till the screen turns gold
Handheld glowing under blanket light
Batteries dying but I never fold
Rotary dial taught the world to spin
Boombox carried every block we knew
VHS tapes stacked up to the ceiling
Static treasure playing back in blue
Chorus
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Praise the machines that got us higher
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Every beep and every buzz
(Praise the plastic)
Retro tech you built this place
(Every beep)
Pixel dust on every face
Bridge
Copper silver silicon
Little sparks that lit the globe
Copper silver silicon
You carried us
You carried us
Drop
Beep boop beep yeah
Beep boop beep yeah
Beep boop beep yeah
Retro never fades away
Chorus
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Praise the machines that got us higher
Praise the plastic praise the wires
Every beep and every buzz
(Praise the plastic)
Retro tech you built this place
(Every beep)
Pixel dust on every face
