Dance to the Algorithm

Once a luxury In a land so free Now a misery In a sea of plenty People marched and people cried It was the day that romance died First we swayed to the rhythm Now we dance to the algorithm Finding the one in zeroes and ones In light waves of thousand suns To match a perfect mate Supremacy decides our fate You look so unreal You're made of a daydream Don't know what to feel Rushing through my bloodstream But it feels so arranged We feel so estranged Are you my object of affection? By intelligent selection? In artificial light Tension rules the night Brains wired Intertwined Idealization of humankind My algorithmic miracle Once in a lifetime chance But I'm afraid of the digital oracle Should I join this synthetic dance? Finding the one in zeroes and ones In light waves of thousand suns To match a perfect mate Supremacy decides our fate Technology, biology But no chance for romance Dreams of lands so free Where people used to dance Dance Dance 3000 AD Long after humanity It's like a real Utopian dream But deep inside I feel it scream 3000 AD Dreaming 'bout how it could be Like generations before me Living in a world so free Visions haunting me Crystals of the bluest sea Place where lovers meet Feeling sand beneath my feet Hear them laugh and sing Being one with sky and spring It looks so serene I don't want this cold love machine In a world So fabricated Will and choice Eliminated How the hell do you survive? In a world that's not alive? Love will turn us blind That's how they neutralize our minds Finding the one in zeroes and ones In light waves of thousand suns To match a perfect mate Supremacy decides our fate Technology, biology But no chance for romance Dreams of lands so free Where people used to dance One step, two step, back to one Now it's one, zero, one, zero, one We used to fight the system But it changed when I kissed him One step, two step, back to one One, zero, one, zero, zero, zero, one First we swayed to the rhythm Now we dance to the algorithm
