Cosmos - Virtual Insanity lyrics

What we’re living in

It’s a wonder man can eat at all

When things are big that should be small

Who can tell what magic spells we’ll be doing for us

And I’m giving all my love to this world

Only to be told

I can’t see, I can’t breathe

No more will we be

And nothing’s going to change the way we live

’Cause we can always take but never give

And now that things are changing for the worse

See, it’s a crazy world we’re living in

And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin

Is all we have to give these

Future’s made of virtual insanity now

Always seem to be governed by this love we have

For useless, twisting, our new technology

Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground

And I’m thinking what a mess we’re in

Hard to know where to begin

If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made

And now every mother can choose the colour of her child

That’s not nature’s way

Well that’s what they said yesterday

There’s nothing left to do but pray

I think it’s time I found a new religion

It’s so insane

To synthesize another strain

There’s something in these

Futures that we have to be told

Future’s made of virtual insanity now

Always seem to be governed by this love we have

For useless, twisting, our new technology

Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground
