Artificial Death Lyrics by Psiren

Confidence & Paranoia

2017

[Verse 1] (Rob Chapman)
We've got artificial life
And artificial death
Under the hateful eye
There won't be nothin' left
A shred of nature here or there
Our social ignorance
Mass marketed propaganda
To keep us all content

[Bridge 1] (Rob Chapman)
Everybody's got a cell phone
Everybody's got balls
When they're all anonymous
Everybody is their own man
Everybody likes to play
Pretend psychologist
Everybody's on the same fucking medication
Killing who the government
Decides they don't need taxes from
Everybody's in the shitter
While the rich are getting richer
And our ideologies are truly worlds apart

[Refrain] (Rob Chapman & Brett Barkhouse)
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!

[Verse 2] (Rob Chapman)
We've got artificial hearts
And glassy artificial eyes
They haven't figured out the brain yet
So they just watered down our minds
Over generations
It's hard to say where I begin
And where my paranoia ends
And part of me is sure
That we could open up the door
If we could only reach the deadbolt at the top
Maybe I'm just high
But I've never felt so low

[Bridge 2] (Rob Chapman)
The air is poisonous
The water's fucking salted
And the green grass has been replaced with astro turf
The food is full of fucking chemicals
And pesticides that half the world has banned
But still, we all play ignorant
They fucking got us
So we're always armed and paranoid
So angry little kids can take some lives on top of theirs
And everybody's still on Ritalin and pot
Because there's nothing left as human beings
We can conjure pleasure from

[Refrain] (Rob Chapman & Brett Barkhouse)
Wake up!
Wake up!

[Verse 3] (Rob Chapman)
Someone tell me what it takes
To measure up against the men in black?
Someone tell me how to
Stand out from the crowd
If I refuse to be the man in white?
I never thought I'd see the day
When we became the things we hate
Under their influence
They're gonna watch us from above
They're gonna watch us from inside
And I just wanna find a way
For me to be down and out

[Refrain] (Rob Chapman & Brett Barkhouse)
Wake up!
Wake up!

[Verse 4] (Rob Chapman)
We've got artificial life
And artificial death
Under the watchful eye
There won't be nothin' left

[Verse 5] (Rob Chapman)
It's hard to say if I'm awake
Or if my body is asleep
And neither world is preferable
They each come with a semblance of security
That's wholly falsified
It's hard to say where I begin
And where my paranoia ends
It's hard to say where I begin
And where my paranoia ends
