lyrics

Disconnected Creature

The more that you’re plugged into
The less that you will see
The more that you’re plugged into
It’s easier to be deceived
We spend all of our days connected to screens
Disconnected from what life really means
Do you remember when we used to charge our heads?
Now we’re busy charging these gadgets instead
When we lose power we go into shock
Cause we can’t charge these gadgets and they’re all that we’ve got

Plugged into machine you forgot how to dream
Unaware of where you’re from where you’re going
Where you’ve been
Disconnected creature no I don’t wanna greet you around here
No more

Shop shop shop till you drop
When when when will it ever stop?
What about the workers in the factories – souls sacrificed for our luxuries
Designed to fail – failed to design
You call it evolution, these are backwards times
Designed to last maybe two years tops, to keep us all racing back to the shops
Designed to fail, failed to design, you call it evolution these are backward times

Addicted to technology - it’s not in our biology
Get back to community - this is my philosophy
Addicted to technology - it’s not in our biology
Rethink our priorities – in this society
