lyrics

popular culture's of no consequence
don't be fooled to believe it's relevant
the design has been locked in
exhaustion of pattern expression
long live the x generation

desperate to define ourselves
with the refuse and debris around
we hold a mirror up to a mirror
we like what we see
and we like how it feels
so lets get on to the next thing now

i thought technology was
supposed to save us
i thought it could clean up this mess
but maybe all it's got to say
is we were better off the old way
maybe all it's got to say
is we were better off living the ways of the old days

all these people have been made
and we're free for the taking
we used to have something to say
but now our favorite expression
is advertising for the newest, must have, all-in-one devices
so let's get on to the next thing now

we can't seem to get our bearings
the rugs always being pulled from under us
what is this i'm declaring?
pop will eat itself, never mind, oh well

what are we doing with our lives?
oh look a blinking light
i'm sorry what was i saying?
what point was i making?
let's get on to the next thing now
let's get on to the next thing now
