I used to wake up with a smile on my face Fresh from a dream I was floating in space And the Earth from above was a beautiful jewel In the bright golden crown of the Sun, gleaming blue Now I wake up with no smile just a frown I’m no longer sleeping it feels like I’m coming down Everywhere greed and intolerance breed To the sound of the media drums planting seeds To grow hatred of somebody you’ll never meet To raise cash for a war or to hide their deceit From a gullible public that don’t give a shit We’ve been taught not to care while they’re making it rich of us all And welcome to the modern world Yeah, welcome to the real world Plug yourself in Let the destruction begin C’mon join all the fun Try not to think of the animals face Of the pain it went through to end up on your plate And don’t spare a though for this place you call home As we tear down the trees strip it back to the bone As we drown in poisons as fast as we can So there’s nothing else left but the law of man And welcome to the modern world Yeah, welcome to the real world You won’t need your heart Leave it right at the start Or you’ll miss all the fun

I feel like I know you I don’t know where from I’m a stranger in this town Haven’t been here long I remember my old town I remember it well It was dragging us all down But I’m alright now Can you feel it now it’s gone? And did you feel it all along? Can you leave it all behind? Are you running out of time? Did you see it all along? Can you see it now it’s gone? I left it all behind I was losing my mind… Guess you’re right I was lucky Didn’t feel it then Couldn’t find any answers I couldn’t help my friends I couldn’t see clearly I couldn’t see a thing I was losing my mind I was losing my mind Can you feel it now it’s gone? And did you feel it all along? Can you leave it all behind? Are you running out of time? Did you see it all along? Can you see it now it’s gone? I left it all behind I was losing my mind…

Two legged pests are runnin’ ‘round Like ants without the purpose Some of them are shining But that’s only on the surface Now I’m looking through a forest of grey concrete High in the city of smoked glass I’m travelling through time And I’ve been here before I’m travelling through time What am I here for? I see the radiation dancing On the winds of globalisation Do you really think you’re living In the land of the free? Antenna tree tops touch the clouds Communication all around I’m travelling through time And I’ve been here before I’m travelling through time What am I here for?

I can’t open my eyes They’re not for sale anymore Everywhere I go Has been branded, that’s for sure One distraction shoves another out the way Just to keep us all from thinking Just to keep us all in line Just keep wasting our time... Its the karma of a nation Wrought for breeding alienation Now New York looks like Baghdad But without the history Ignoring Revelations Cataclysmic devastation Now there’s a bad mood rising It’s a brand new kind of war They’re selling us Celluloid dreams, through digital screens Built an island out of numbers so unreal And so it slips away Ignoring the procession Of precessional precision That’s been left to us, it’s ours You can’t keep us all from thinking You can’t keep us all in line... Can’t watch us all the time... You’re just wasting your time...

Vision 03:26
I had a vision, I had a wake up call I had a vision, it was something strange It was a wake up call, a wake up call Astro eyes predict my fall Take me into outer space Down on earth I’m out of place When I lay awake at night Wondering how to put things right To escape from this place, they call me, call me, call me When I’ve gone you’ll be alright Let me hold you one more night Then escape from this place, they call me, call me, call me I had a vision, I had a wake up call I had a vision, it was something strange, something small It was a wake up call, a wake up call Something else controls us all Take me into outer space Down on earth we’re out of place When I lay awake at night Wondering how to put things right To escape from this place, they call me, call me, call me When I’ve gone you’ll be alright Let me hold you one more night Then escape from this place, they call me, call me, call me And I don’t know when to stop Pull on the brakes I fall right off Then escape from this place, they call me, call me, call me Don’t you wanna wake up, wake up...?

Machine 03:42
I am a machine, do you know what I mean? I am a machine, I can’t help myself You know I am a machine You know what I mean? I am a machine, do you know what I mean? And I am a machine, I can’t help myself You know I am a machine Real extreme See in your eyes that you don’t believe That we’ve become human machines I can see you’re not real Talk about things in a humanoid way My circuits they feel unclean Baby don’t you know I am a machine I can’t help myself, you know I am a machine I can’t help myself, you know I am a machine You know what I mean I am a machine, you know what I mean? I am a machine, I can’t help myself You know I am a machine You know what I mean? Wake up in the morning and I see a different world Watching humanoid machines on their way to work I struggle with that feeling I feel unclean Can’t you see the program has failed? I’m overloaded I’m off the rails Oh baby don’t you know, I am a machine I can’t help myself, you know I am a machine I can’t help myself, you know I am a machine I am a machine And I don’t even know what’s going on I don’t know what to do with myself now Feeling down, feeling low, plug myself in, recharge, recharge… fail Work, consume, obey, shutdown… I am a machine… We’re all machines… Breakdown, breakdown…

Standing at the crossroads Feeling sleepy kind of lost now When I’m lost I fall asleep So at the crossroads I’m still standing I force myself to fall so far That I can’t see how far I’ve fallen I can’t stop myself by force And no ones forcing me to stop at all Smoking starts me thinking And I’m thinking about smoking Then my fingers start to roll Now I’m smoking and I’m thinking I read the words the prophets’ said Confused me more the more I read I need answers for my questions But the answers make me question even more I know that something guides me And it's guiding me to something I don’t know when I’ll get there But I’m looking And I’m listening And I’m feeling I’m living more and more…

I’m not hungry anymore The world beneath my feet has changed Contaminated, toxified by pesticides All things man-made I’m not hungry anymore I’m all full up on additives Who really wants to eat like this? I’ve seen enough now I’ve seen enough now I’m not hungry anymore I want my food grown under the sun Not engineered by greedy Agro-chemical corporations I’ve seen enough now I’ve seen enough now…

You appeared from nowhere From half a world away Maybe I got lucky And all the Gods were smiling my way And when you’re here beside me I’m a shooting star Soaring endlessly Through eternity Across the Milky Way In dream time all the way My life was tiring And I was tiring of my life You steered me back on course Guided by the heavens, back to the source And when you’re here beside me I’m a shooting star Soaring endlessly Through eternity Across the Milky Way In dream time all the way...

Circles 05:34
Take me out, take me somewhere Anywhere but here You know it’s all too near I’m tired, my body’s aching Tired of all my lives And of pushing it too far, testing it too hard I never claimed to be an angel But you knew that all along You were blind and I was gone I never said I’d do no wrong That was clear right at the start And there’s no one here to blame, there’s no one here to blame Did we push it just a bit too far? Did we smash it up like your old car? We’re lying here in bits Did we let it come to this? Have we taken it a step too far? Did we kick it in the face too hard? It’s broken up in bits Can we really hope to fix it at all? Its gonna be alright Its gonna be alright Its gonna be alright Its gonna be alright…
