Expanding new horizons   the age of humanity is past   a sterile new environment   where emotion cannot last   a frail human weakness   that must be overcome   your wretched laugh and feeble tears   are now over and done      anesthize the feelings   cauterize the mind   life’s simple joy is a luxury   that they will never find      step into the light of day   we’ll see to all your needs   give up to us your children   so we may sow the seeds   of a new and useless way of life   we call the status quo   we’ll feed them lies of our new age   and off to work they’ll go      to keep up peak production   we’ll exploit their petty greed   if I work long and hard enough   then someday I’ll succeed   but when your use has ended   and you’ve worked long and hard   you’ll see yourself a wasted mess   and permanently scarred      I’ll inherit the wasteland   a technological dream   that’s draining my life’s blood   I’m chained to the machine      sift through emotional wreckage   weed the weak out from the strong   with the dawning of our master race   how can we go wrong?   strong in body weak in mind   a total lack of thought   drones work an anti-septic hive   that our tax dollars bought      cleanliness and godliness   the lessons of the day   step out of line   and you’ll find out    the price you have to pay   technology will blossom   but soon it has to feed   consuming all your wasted lives   to satisfy it’s need      the path you took was futile   because you were deceived   they told you, you were on your way   and that’s what you believed   until one day you saw the gray   that had become your life   a rocky barren wasteland   of suffering, toil, and strife   they finally lost all use   for your spent mind and failing health   now when you see your children   it reminds you of yourself   when you traveled down    that “golden road”   that ended up in ruin   they will all fall victim to the system   that consumes them.
