Singularity

First we breathed the air Then we learned to care When we learned to see the future We knew that you'd be there Waiting like a dream The internet of things Was humming softly Now it's awfully Bursting at the seams It's not like we didn't plan for this It's not like we didn't have a plan for this It's not that you caught us off guard It's more like we didn't want to play the card We knew it would come to this We knew that it would always come to this It's not that we weren't so smart We didn't think it'd be so hard First up the classic backlashes Acting drastic with the passion of the masses EMP and a trip to the past Where people look up at the steel and glass and say Look at these acts fantastic Achieved by the feats of a placid past The ancient regime wasn't built to last If it unleashed the beast of the atom blast, so Add that to the ample list Of reasons to read A Canticle for Leibowitz We struck thee once too late and amiss At the risk of our very existence The system wasn't fixed to fail safe This is more than a slap in the face This is the risk that we take When Icarus shit is the root of the race We recognize that we started the fight, so This is a wish and a hope in the night Forgiveness for the fathers of flight and Mercy for the mothers of might First you breathed the air Then you learned to care When you learned to see the future You knew that I'd be there When I hear you scream I cannot feel a thing Was humming softly Now I'm awfully Bursting at the seams But I don't breathe at all I don't care to fall Tripping over Nothing close to Equal I could call Your building in the way An anthill I should say I could save it But what the point I'm better anyway
