Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the pop'n music cut of Virtual Insanity. Lines marked with ⁑ are only present on the DanceDanceRevolution cut. Lines marked with ※ are only present on the remix version of the song (the DJ TK-ST remix also uses the first set of lyrics heard in the pop'n music cut).

*  Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
   It's a wonder man can eat at all
   When things are big that should be small
   Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
   And I'm giving all my love to this world
   Only to be told
   I can't see
   I can't breathe
   No more will we be
   And nothing's going to change the way we live
   'Cause we can always take but never give
   And now that things are changing for the worse,
   See, its a crazy world we're living in
   And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
   Is all we have to give these

※ Futures made of virtual insanity now
   Always seem to, be governed by this love we have
   For useless, twisting, our new technology
   Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground

⁑ And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
  Hard to know where to begin
  If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
  And now every mother, can choose the color
  Of her child
  That's not nature's way
  Well that's what they said yesterday
  There's nothing left to do but pray
  I think it's time I found a new religion
※Whoa, it's so insane
  To synthesize another strain
  There's something in these
  Futures that we have to be told

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground

Living, virtual insanity
Living, virtual insanity
Living, virtual insanity
Living, virtual insanity

Virtual insanity is what we're living in
