Blue light, pressing your eyelids wide/
4am, no respite, no alibi.
Can’t stem the tide and you can’t hide/
no respite, no alibi.
Born in a world made by machines/
A nice clean socket in the back of your head/
you can’t wake up, this ain’t a dream Neo/
it’s the shock of the real.
Distraction dragging you from your cause/
another click, another war.
Capture the images of your birth, your life, your love, your hate, your pain/
Your mind, you can’t restrain yourself, just take the hit, the dopamine/
A capsule of caffeine props you up/
so you can waste your time.
And now, you’ve lived another day/
Another change in pace/
Not seen the sun’s rays/
Seen a million faces/
You’ve taken the route home/
You sit alone in stasis/
The influence grows/
Takes a strangle hold/
A manufactured illness/
And now, you live another day/
You’ve lost another day.
Become an active citizen!
Tweet furiously about your fading ambition!
Give it up for the wealth creators!
Vote now for your favourite dictator!
What colour is this dress? Who to bomb next?!
Every fleeting second another buzz, another bleep!
Your primal drives are now fulfilled, satisfied, gratified!
All the information, all the time, welcome to paradise!
There’s no mistake, the news is fake/
A bond to break, a lie, opaque/
A sacred place, an empty space/
A game to play, a superhighway.
We’ve lost the keys to our machines,
There’s no vaccine/
We’re screaming in a bubble
Screaming in a bubble.
You’ve got the nowshock, baby and there’s no way back.
There’s no way back from here.
