Modern Times
Can't quite remember when
This modern pile that we stepped in
Smells like easier to live
Is how we saw the signs
With a lot of this is it
In all of this we daily did
Is this the mess they really meant
Now that we live the lie
The way that we had seen it
We thought it all pure genius
Sold it as convenience
This luxury to life
But what they really gave us
Would soon enough enslave us
Tattoo and engrave us
While turning a blind eye
As technology surrounds us
Gags us and confounds us
Leaving some of us in the dust
Babbling fools out of our minds
Why in this do we feel alone
In what once we all held hope
Locked up tight inside our homes
Could someone please clap out the lights...
