The Gift Lyrics by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

Of the Last Human Being

2024

[Intro]
Leave your hole
The sun still shines

[Verse 1]
Utopian cyber-hippie this is your world now
I guess you think it's cool, I guess you like it
Utopian cyber-zombie shut the faaauuu
I guess it's free for everybody
I guess you made a little money

[Verse 2]
A nation of what should be human beings walking around like victims in bad science-fiction
The borg is here now
The body-snatchers have come
And taken over what used to be a cafe a bus a train, a classroom
The body-snatchers have come
Utopian cyber-hippie this is your world now
Utopian cyber-zombie this is your day in the sun
Utopian cyber-hippie shut the door on the way out
Utopian cyber-zombie get that thing out of my face and run

[Bridge]
You've given our children a gift that keeps on giving
They will never have known the world without this gift
A shining gift
A curse handed down
For this I call you by a spiteful name
Blind servant of the cyber-god
Let the earth swallow you whole
And with you reclaim its mineral gift from millions of indispensable and insidious gadgets
That you've sold to fools and children and everyone
This gift is not mine

[Verse 3]
Google Twitter Podcast I hate the poetry
Download Myspace Facebook I hate the language
I can't believe I put this garbage in a song
Just because it's 2023 we don't all have to sing along
You can get laid on your virtual planet
I'll get mine where I don't have to plan it with the dead box
A dead box that blinks and talks and fakes the rock and might give you brain cancer
Google Twitter Podcast

[Refrain]
Leave your hole
The sun still shines on a world not made
Leave the gift at the door
Shut it down and step out

[Verse 4]
Into the night
Into the park
Into the forest
Past the gate
Past the fountain
Into the cemetery
Under the light of the moon we can dream of a world before and after science
Under the light of the sun we can live in a world before and after dreams
Utopian cyber-hippie this is your world now

[Outro]
Leave your hole
The sun still shines
On a world not made in your mind
