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
