Lyrics

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
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
Oh, it's 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
govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new
technology Oh, now there is no sound
for we all live underground

Woah - it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Future's that we have to be told

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