Dave Matthews Band Chicago River Incident

Falling into digital code To escape from the world I used to know Starving and struggling Unhinged and unloved We live through these devices That entice us to numb Choke on your breath Look at the sky Swallow your pride Work til you die System: Failure Dystopian living The machines are killing Any semblance of being No perfect persons In an imperfect world The users, the whores Who programs these horrors? In between the bricks Watching, waiting, eyes are glued Interrogate the city gates The line's right in front of you Escaping and erasing Any sense of living loved What we're chasing is fading I refuse to give up Choke on your breath Look at the sky Swallow your pride Work 'til you die System: Failure Dystopian living The machines are killing Any semblance of being No perfect persons In an imperfect world The users, the whores Who programs these horrors? Decipher the beauty While the neon lights fade The world has been dying Hidden from our gaze Black clouds of pollution Leave you choking and dazed There's no sense in hiding Been digging our own grave Tear down the smokestacks And monuments made The world keeps turning But everything is burning Tear down smokestacks And monuments Everything is burning
