Lyrics

This country's finished, it's been sliding downhill a long time

And everybody's got a cell phone that makes pancakes

So they don't wanna make any trouble

The air is thick, I'm wearin' thin

There's so much shit goin' on I don't know where to begin

Society's ill, we know that

The government's corrupt, we know that

The question is how to control that

They got us programmed and socially networked

Think of who's seein' all your email and texts first

And no one communicates face to face

We're all dependent on Facebook, blogs and MySpaces

Kids committin' suicide for somethin' as small

As a rumor on the internet they couldn't resolve

And I watch as a whole generation free-falls

To a digital death, we've all come to accept

This wild world of poison, I'm caught in its web

It got in my head and I just wanna disconnect

'Cause until we start avoidin' this automated noise

We'll be auto-tuned out 'til there's nothin' left

What have we become?

It's out of my hands, it's out of control

I've gone numb, out of my mind, it's over

What have we become?

It's out of my mind, it's out of control

I've gone numb, t-t-technology is takin' over

What have we become?

It's out of my hands, it's out of control

I've gone numb, out of my mind, it's over

What have we become?

It's out of my mind, it's out of control

I've gone numb, t-t-technology is takin' over

What the hell they lettin' kids watch now?

And apologize for later when no one is around

I know it sound harmless, right? But look at the truth

You stickin' guns in their face, robbin' 'em of their youth

It's nothin' to lose a million dollars breakin' the law

If your ratings go up and haters wanna see more

This is media war, how the rich control the poor

But the clicker's in their hands, so who's really at the core

Of the problem? To the fox I play possum

Wait for my chance and I strike like boxin'

I ain't like talkin', people never listen

Advertising everywhere, I call it CellaVision

Who the fuck are y'all kiddin'? This is planetary prison

Every single one of us, no matter what your skin and

No matter where you're livin', your god or what you're givin'

It's time to put the shovel down and

Think of why you're diggin', let's go

Ain't nothin' sacred anymore, it's all put on blast

Your fifteen seconds of fame is YouTube trash

But this necessary evil that we go through

Is the first and only option that we go to

In the information age, we're caught in the haze

The talkin' heads, walkin' dead, livin' what they say

And nothin' gonna change until we change our frame of mind

We're consumed, we're doomed to fall in or lie

Power does what it wants, and now they just put it right out front

And say, "This is what we're doin' to you folks"

People have been bought off by gizmos and toys in this country

And no one questions things anymore

What have we become?

It's out of my hands, it's out of control

I've gone numb, out of my mind, it's over

What have we become?

It's out of my mind, it's out of control

I've gone numb, t-t-technology is takin' over

What have we become?

It's out of my hands, it's out of control

I've gone numb, out of my mind, it's over

What have we become?

It's out of my mind, it's out of control

I've gone numb, t-t-technology is takin' over
