lyrics

civilization is a machine that runs on dreams
a labyrinth of minds and memes
a game to keep the masses on a string in the scene
thats built out of the masters scheme

take my hand lets go
shatter illusions
we dont need a life
built on a delusion
the whole worlds changing
indeed its always moving
as its pulse is raging
with evolution

all its wires, electric it grows
a culture thats mired
in technologic throws

times are a changin
all our moments are just a phase
as the worlds turning into an exponential race
to establish western imperial grace

that we cannot contain
that we cannot contain
that we cannot sustain

x2

take my hand lets go
into the future
givve up our roles as
unconscious consumerss
in this world weve come to know
through our mediated sense
that keeps us in a box
in a room with a fense

lets keep our mind
out of machines
that dehumanize
our thoughts and dreams

the powers that be have the means to enact dreams
that impose on our reality
that subvert our lives
into conformity
but we have the tools to be free

so take my hand lets go
lets dream new dreams
lets give up this show, its a sham
all our lives are based in archetypes
that border on bedlam
