Lyrics

Yeah

Yo, I used to have these ideas and dreams

Of what the future would be like as a kid

Sort of went something like this, yo

Yeah, yeah

I used to wish I could time warp through life forward

And see a sidewalk shoot fireballs like Guy Fawkes

But in this real life it's nothing like a child's thoughts

Just cities full of smog, traffic jams and eyesores

So why talk about a future that you thought would happen

When automatically it's nothing like we all imagined?

Technology bloomed, blossomed and grew

With innovation changing what we all use

Something we choose to try to make our lives more organised

But when the shit breaks down you feel it's all a lie

Sort of like a contradictional box we fit in

'Cause you don't want the gimmicks that got all this stock, admit it

A new era of group pressure to be the same

With youth bred to consume every leading chain

So we remain to see these up and coming people change

In these rearranging times, I guess you'll never be the same

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it

Living the hecticness of this interconnectedness

When we're given the internet and then billions spent on it

Uneducated opinions in a Twitter subjectiveness

Grammatically incorrect in illiterate sentences

In due time we suffered a few raw abundance

Where everything's available viewed by the public

This era of entitlement fuels my repugnance

And every artist's gotta face futile redundance

This age of piracy invades my privacy

With shit that don't make sense but stated righteously

And you can stalk me with ways to spy on me

Alone but together you can't escape the irony

Try make us buy an ad, via a viral spam

The tangible disappears on their diagram

A human inside a machine like Iron Man

This age brings the playthings of idle hands, look

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it

'Cause I'm inclined to know this cycle go like eeny, meeny, miny, moe

I picked it, we're voluntarily followed by GPS

The terms and conditions are pushy like BMX

So reassess the problems often common

From the technological era that I watch and

Is the digital man part of sinister plans

Or is it advanced ideas for living expanse?

I'm giving a glance of future evolutions of man

To be a hunchback figure staring into his hand, it goes

They think that I'm a new jack but only if they knew that

They would think wrong if they could get back

It's true, I'm from the old school

Old school

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it

It's the new generation

They got it all at the click of a button

But I'm feeling that I'm doomed every minute that I touch it
