I must be the only one in 2147 Who feels they were born in the wrong generation Said 2.7 billion children as they looked for themselves On the internet It's way too lonely, I'm feeling only Connections from my digital feed This must be love and I'll have to trust in the mechanics of the Twenty-second century On my brand new antidepressants I feel like a soviet union playboy On a hunt Ну заяц, Ну погоди But I invented that reference I was only born 140 years After the fall of the Berlin Wall Looks like I missed all the fun I got wasted They took me home in a taxi That still can't fly Back to the Future was a lie Fuck you Marty McFly Great Scott It's way too lonely, I'm feeling only Connections from my digital feed, I'm an Imaginary dandy from a Soviet Union Playboy magazine It's way too lonely, I'm feeling only Connections from my digital feed, I'm an Imaginary dandy from a Soviet Union Playboy magazine

Vampiric exercise in the gym at night You can't waste your daylight Work your hours Or you'll get fired And the milennials thought that the housing crisis was tough a century ago Now there's 10 billion mouths to feed 10 billion souls Hey, I don't trust you You were born on the moon colony You'll steal my job in this blood economy There's no place for you on earth The stimulants I take Keep me awake for longer And I can sleep when I'm dead Then I won't feel hunger With VR therapy to keep me sane We are lovers but I'm paranoid That you collect my data Every time you listen to me But a few pills put me in the mood I get a few thrills then I'm out the door There's voices down the corridor And shadows In my head Hey, I don't trust you You were born on the moon colony You'll steal my job in this blood economy There's no place for you on earth

By the table with the levitating menus I see your electric eyes And any time I come by You seem to generate that smile for me The breakfast menu never changes I'll have the usual, please It's bittersweet I'm always there Wearing glasses with the paid subscription Augmented reality feature The space cafe never changes And I'm still the same Just a retro-fetishist seventies-sci-fi freak Drinking my morning coffee This reality is over the moon The climate crisis was the last one At the cost of our passions And I'm feeling something strange inside I can't reach for love but I can fly Past the rings of Saturn Oh My Vision sharpens, my senses overdrive I see a pretty thing I wanna dance with But first I'll say hi to David Bowie's hologram Ziggy's still in fashion, the latest model replicates his voice But then she takes my hands and glides with me Through the hologram that's singing songs Of electric love This reality is over the moon The climate crisis was the last one At the cost of our passions And I'm feeling something strange inside I can't reach for love but I can fly Past the rings of Saturn

VOYAGER 1 03:43
We try to climb up to heaven Cause quantum physics could not explain Our God Engraved in gold on a record Voyager One's Memory of Earth Floating out in space Like humanity's cries on Radio waves Our only footprint in the universe and Why do we think that the aliens care about A type zero point eight civilization That tries to reach for the stars By sending a Tesla roadster to orbit Mars We try to climb up to heaven Cause quantum physics could not explain Our God Engraved in gold on a record Voyager One's Memory of Earth Will be a future relic It will belong to the past Like the bones of saints and catholic mass And our concentration spans In the attention-deficit generation Don't you sometimes listen to half a song Then take it off before the record ends You know, I had a crazy dream last night It was about people gathering in a room and experiencing death by instant disconnection from the program, resulting in the experiential merging of everyone present as part of a unified singularity Yeah that makes no sense Also, it says that for this café we need the Stardust overlay Does it need a subscription? Yeah Man, why do all these overlays have a paywall? Yeah, right I just wanted to check this place out You know, I think I'll head on home I got some of those new pills I wanna try It's not the first time you thought you should disconnect But they'd make it all so inconvenient And their ethical concerns must be prominent Then you turn off the overlays and screens Take pills to lucid dream And you're flying With increasing speed

The one true prophet AliExpress has reached the west past the Great Firewall of China Increasing state production, conquering's the manifest behind the Great Firewall of China I hear the sirens And someone's gone again I thought I knew them well I guess I'm wrong again There's a red house over yonder My friends and I sometimes wonder What the cameras are for And what they do behind the door Keep out the Mongol hordes and western propaganda with the Great Firewall of China Ensure no thought crime and unpatriotic slander with the Great Firewall of China My friend's a black sheep But white's the only way We use a VPN to watch the NBA And yesterday we saw the statue They made us bow at his feet And I wondered who is he Looks like Winnie the Pooh to me I wear my party emblem proudly on my chest, protecting the Great Firewall of China I love my warden and my labour camp's the best behind the Great Firewall of China An empire of thousand years will never be oppressed behind the Great Firewall

Oil, they've run out of oil They're all unemployed I can't sell my stocks cause they're null and void Withdrawal of US support The peacekeeping force Had to resort To the camel and the horse We've got the remedy Pledge your support We'll bring some culture To the tourist resorts We'll build a rave scene On the spoils of war Welcome to Persia In Twenty One 'O Four Crime, expression is crime Law and order's divine They'll stone you to death Cause you have an open mind Subcultural lines Will mark the divide And defectors keep joining The protesting side They've got the remedy Pledge your support They'll bring some culture To the tourist resorts They'll build a rave scene On the spoils of war They'll free Persia in Twenty One 'O Four Secret fire, deserted order Secret fire, deserted order Secret fire, deserted order Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward Through darker days, in sights of Mordor The company ever moving northward

Pulling in the driveway I take off my tie Man, those freak kids next door Got no education or drive Oh, my son and daughter Never gonna end up that way They better get real jobs And have a career someday Honey I'm home, my promotion's secure I'm the head supervisor of the advertising board Respect is not on bended knee To serpent tongues of corporate authority The bricks fly through my mirrors Happy home - two-and-a-half serpents raised as my own There's time for vacation And time for the wolves Pray for deliverance While they prey on you To my timepiece I'm a mistress To the markets - I'm a whore Your attention's my product Now buy, buy, buy Respect is not on bended knee To serpent tongues of corporate authority The bricks fly through my mirrors Happy home - two-and-a-half serpents raised as my own Respect is not on bended knee To serpent tongues of corporate authority The bricks fly through my mirrors Happy home - two-and-a-half serpents raised as my own Respect is not on bended knee To serpent tongues of corporate authority With sacrificial rituals of war economy Eternal flames cremating, ashes spread While you scale the apex of instinctive dread All love is lust and you lost yourself Cause your lifestyle was designed by someone else Two-and-a-half serpents' fangs inject venom in your chest Respect is not on bended knee Respect is not on bended knee Respect is not on bended knee Respect is not on bended knee Respect is not on bended knee

Slowly as you pull the handbrake And step out on the street Look down and turn up your headphones There's blood in the snow at your feet And you frame it in a shot with a caption It's removed, that's not allowed on the feed But did they flag an inappropriate shadow? Or is the shadow in your post too real? Oh baby They're not really there for you Oh baby My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby No crucifix or stake on you Oh baby The prophets only lied to you You tell yourself it's just a nightmare The pills will surely help you sleep While others seek out paths through the alleys Dissatisfaction to vision will lead In the villa, the villa they find me In Eastern fashion, persistence is key I'd like to show you but you're not curious Not curious enough for me Oh baby They're not really there for you Oh baby My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby No crucifix or stake on you Oh baby You think you know it all, don't you? Oh baby They're not really there for you Oh baby My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby No crucifix or stake on you Oh baby The prophets only lied to you My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby They're not really there for you Oh baby My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby No crucifix or stake on you Oh baby You think you know it all, don't you? Oh baby They're not really there for you Oh baby My fangs are dripping red on you Oh baby No crucifix or stake on you Oh baby The prophets only lied to you

I don't need you To share my fears I fly alone Like birds of prey I can't Shed tears But I'll Shed my skin Like the serpent And Shed this love I found my reflection In strobe light halls My shameless complexion Is dripping down the walls And all the rulers I detest I deflect their javelins I re-route their storms My laugh must be thunder My dance like a hurricane To the pawns and their lords I'm like a shadow in their minds I'm not reflected in the mirrors they define I'm like a shadow in their minds I'm not reflected in the mirrors they define I'm like a shadow in their minds I'm not reflected in the mirrors they define I'm like a shadow in their minds I'm not reflected in the mirrors they define I'm like a shadow in their minds I'm not reflected in the mirrors they define I'm like a shadow in your mind

Through white brick houses, avenues In a blacked-out anorak and shoes You roam in search of new delights And leave some tags with spray paint On the walls, you bring some life into the city Because your government is terrible Oh, what a drag to go out for a smoke Harnessed by the capitalist yoke They took my cell phone on the street I only wanted to call her today Their mafia methods at the rock-cafe Man, they taser you for smoking a j I'll never give in Let them try with all their might My fleeting moments scatter by the wayside, crawling home Where I'll kiss her again And taste a sour regret I'll take my chances on the street, she's not the one, I've got to leave We'll never give in Let them try with all their might Those oligarchs gentrified and vain Will fall from grace And a new age will dawn And a new love will bloom And her tears will dry And we'll fade to nostalgic pictures In each other's heads
