In empty silver towers
we kill the daylight hours in the lonely town
No-one really says much
Just the constant chatter of machine code sound
We go about our business
With the whole world there to witness,
such a social age
Under shiny silver surface
They're threatening to hurt us if we disengage
Tonight I'll take my chance to hide away
Before they digitise my life away from me
Are we really free?
We're all automated now
production's re-instated in the lonely town
Dystopic city visions
AI planning our decisions
it's the future, 'Wow!'
Memories of nature just glowing
in the neon seem such distant days
It's time to turn the screen off
But are sheep still what I dream of
when my body lays?
Tonight I'll take my chance to hide away
Before they digitise my life away from me
Tonight I'll take my chance to hide away
Before they digitise my mind away from me
Are we really free?
Let's take our chance to hide away
Now that the future's here to stay
Let's take our chance to hide away
Now that the future's here to stay
