I used to spend my time thinking about - spaceships and flying cars - robotic pets and dehydrated chocolate bars - yep - making ray guns out of hockey sticks and walkie talkies out of bricks - my bike's a rocket - it's the nicest - dreamin' 'bout how I could build some teleportation devices - so me and my droids could avoid the Cuban missile crisis
I lay awake at night - thinking 'bout the satellites - star light star bright - first star I see tonight - I made a wish and sent it up to reach the sun too - every prediction born of fiction was to come true
I blink my eyes - and we arrive - at the present day
Hellbent - on artificial intelligence - even at the expense - of all of our innocence - do you really want a fucking robot making your decisions for you? - oh wait they already do

Misleading clues - cannot be used - to disabuse - humanity believing untruths
The secret lies within the things that we're surrounded by - no need to fabricate a myth or live inside a lie - you can appreciate a thing without defining it - the labels that you stick can only fit a tiny bit - of what is actually beyond the scope of definition - nature doesn't give a shit about your week belief system - which doesn't mean you can't devote your life to wi-fi - but as for me - I'll be a sucker for sci-fi
