lyrics

From a childhood
where the high tech artefact
was an 8-bit console
Landlines only to call
Then when you left the house
you were off the grid
In a few decades
what can be done has surpassed
our wildest dreams

While desensitised
by our sly adored devices
Lured to tailored feeds
of shock and awe
You’re glued to news
and the breakthroughs
each day
Can’t relate at all
yet drawn right in
captivated
but care for nothing
Nonplussed and hooked

Get used to change
whatever comes
you know that people
do what they need to survive
Under duress
when it’s us and them
Time and again

Moore’s law so far unflawed
the rate of change still increasing
By doubling every year
the futures here
Seeing an air of uncertainty
as we evolve through our technology

Nano-machines fighting off disease
robotic white blood cells
call into question
Is what human means
going to change?
When everyday
we step ever closer to
Ray Kurzweil’s gaze

The birth of robotic enhancements
mass produced, exoskeletons
making their first appearance
Gaining strength
past all that we’ve seen
Merging with machines
Exceeding demands
till they land in the wrong hands

When they do...
What will it mean
for me and you?

Constant overt surveillance
I’ve heard it said that
if you’ve got nothing to hide
what’s all the fuss about?
There’s no need to be paranoid
Warrantless data collection
defies the guise
that you’re innocent
till proved otherwise

The totalitarian tiptoe
still infiltrates our lives
from secrecy to taking strides
Ed Snowden revealed
the true extent of the
trouble that we’re in
Without encryption
software everything’s tracked
we’re being hacked
there’s no privacy
No freedom or security
this breach is fucking infamy
Those cunts
will take what they can
and plan to carry on as
it’s always been
until we do something
