Man oh man oh man have we got a lot to talk about these days
And not a lot we've found this way has that long warmth we've been craving
It's all calculated
Dopaseratonamine
I'm calcified, you are too man
It's in the content you soak in
I can say it with a straight face
And that's the problem
I can see us now
The ancients reclined,
Bedsores disguised,
Fingers twitching -
Another spine hit'll do
Who needs social security,
When you've got virtual reality to look forward to?
Yeah
We're treading liquid crystal landmines
Reality's so out of reach
Call your mom, she's got a landline
We're almost out of time
One day, we'll say "if only they could see us now, they'd swell with pride"
Oh they'll say "what a little box you've built yourself into, what's not to like?"
You've got seven squares a day, a masters for the side gig
Optional integrity, kaleidoscopic irony
You're at a distance now kid but bringing yourself down, down, down can have its benefits
They can hear us now
Young men gone blind
And deaf despite
wishful thinking
A little hindsight'll do
Who needs autonomy
when you've let monotony define you?
Yeah
We're treading liquid crystal landmines
Reality's so out of reach
Call your mom, she's got a landline
We're almost out of time
