so distracted by the signals floating freely through our air
like a virus goes unnoticed until were 7/10th's impaired
now to breathe requires graphs and charts that are used to compare
and contrast elation reward frustration pride and then despair
while we wager feelings over thoughts or the adverse in turn by day
during endless conversation with the ghosts of parts we've played
in younger days and simpler times we now admit to some dismay
but those conveniences we leech onto somehow lead us astray

now we viddy all the films in colors the real world could not offer
but moloko plus and ultra violence tend not to make realization softer
written words distorted and mis-portrayed is exactly what came after
censors depict the world to the public without the 21'st chapter

yes its typical worn and jaded but weve forgot with all the static
that interferes with the electrodes that are created in your attic
infecting through the bloodstream with a zombie like tactic
severing brain stems first and rapidly it spreads and it is quite sporadic
so we chance the side effects just to advance - or do we regress?
the tele tells me "things are fine" and "look at all the progress"
but the headlines sing a different tune when between the lines is stressed
and if we'd put the gadgets down we'd realize its obvious

but now we viddy all the films in colors the real world has forget
and all the polly in your pocket cant buy back what we have lost
cos epic tales will be believed when there is no concern of cost
of constant commercialism to convince common trust

***please disregard this notice if you ignore it it will go away***
***check in to the illusion, we hope that you enjoy your stay!***
