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
