Lyrics
Ooh, hey-hey, aw
What we're livin' in?
Let me tell ya
And it's a wonder men can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doin' for us?
And I'm givin' 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 gonna change the way we live
'Cause we can always take, but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse, see
Whoa, it's a crazy world we're livin' 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 of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground
And I'm thinkin' 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 colour
Of her child, that's not nature's way
Well, that's what they said yesterday
There's nothin' 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 of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, whoa
Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothin' so bad
As a man-made man
Oh yeah, I know, yeah
Ooh, I know I can't go on
Ooh, of this virtual insanity we're living in
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can't go on while we're living in, oh
Oh, virtual insanity
Oh, this world has got to change
'Cause I just, I just can't keep going on
In this virtual, virtual insanity
That we're livin' in, that we're livin' in
And a virtual insanity is what it is
Yeah, ooh
Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Oh, futures made of, now, virtual insanity
Now we all, we seem to be governed by a love
For these useless twisting of our new technology
And now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Yes, we do, oh
(Livin' in) now, this life that we live in
(Virtual insanity) it's all goin' wrong
Out of the window (livin' in), you know
(Virtual insanity) that there is nothing worse than
(Livin' in) a man-made man
(Virtual insanity) there is nothing worse than
(Livin' in) a foolish man (virtual insanity), hey!
Virtual insanity is what we're livin' in, yeah, yeah
Well, it's alright
