These days
everyone knows everything
The Internet is convenient
Getting bored is a duty
(Oh boy, I’m fucked)
These days
informations become so cheap
No one seeks the truth
Getting told what we should do
is the ultimate comfort
(Oh boy, I’m fucked)
These days
everyone hates the real
Getting fooled by
the charming smiles and
sweet lies
is a duty
You already know that,
don’t you?
No one knows how we have become what we are now and since when?
It feels as though
'they' had stolen
our history
behind the scenes
while we were sleeping
with our eyes wide shut
These days
we only know for sure that
conformity is a must
(Right?)
These days
doing the same as
everyone else
is a duty
(Right?)
We dutifully stare at our
smartphone displays,
looking for someone
who would patiently listen to
what we feel and
how we feel
just like our ancestors used to do
for others
in a real-world
But it has become
a distant memory
while we are sleeping
with our eyes wide open
It feels as though
'they' had stolen
our history
behind the scenes
while we were sleeping
with our eyes wide shut
Now all has become
sweet nothings
while we are making love
with our eyes wide shut
Oh boy, I’m fucked
Maybe we all are fucked
But it doesn’t mean
we are defeated
Right?
