Synthetic World

Hey you, I'm up from the Bayou

Where wildlife runs free

You could say that I'm country

But let me tell you what I see

Your world is plastic

Can see through to the other side

Your cities are made of wood

Antiques are what you've got inside

Houses are paper

But folks don't hear a word you say

Friendship's like acid

It burns as it slides away

So you see, my patience is growin' thin

With this synthetic world we're livin' in

The word "imitation" lives across the nation

What's real has become a freak

Someone's tryin' to make me weak

Strange initials to keep me blind

Psychedelic music to blow my mind

So you see, my patience is growin' thin

With this synthetic world we're livin' in

Spray to clear the air, air to clear the spray

Makin' people die every day

And now I find I'm out of place

If I only have one face

All my friends have more than two

No longer must you be you

They found out how to transplant

"Maybe" has replaced "can"

So, you see, my patience is growin' thin

With this synthetic world we're livin' in, hmm
