Future Shock Lyrics

[lyrics by Harry Conklin]

I see and I know there's something awry
They see and they know with laser eyes
Digital dreams on digital screens
creating life as they glow
Nightmares forming without a warning,
there's no one to patrol

What securities will the future hold
It's getting out of control
I'm in future shock

Overlapping textures of pain
Nightmares race through information veins
Who claims what's wrong, who controls what's right
and who cares anyway
The information highway will take you there
for such a small price to pay

Our lives are on a screen
(Who knows what the other side sees)
Secret lives we all lead
(Who knows what the other side needs)
Secure these lives with a digital lock
(Who hold the other side's keys)
I'm living in future shock
(The other side has me on my knees)

Pulses scanning at the speed of light
Draining our life flow with every megabyte
The beast, all seeing master minds
Rule the Internet
Who knows their means beyond our screens
They will have you yet
