Now You Tell Me

Modern life arrived deceased A hole where nature used to be And I Could take all of the slings Had a clue which direction we were moving in Talking heads will sell you south High on horses gonna ride it out And we know that you know Almost too late so we have to get it started Have to say we're not surprised Deal in sleight of hand, no straight reply Now why Should we bet the house No intent of paying up just cashing out Tend the garden that feeds all fools Don't pour on the oil, make cleaner tools And we know that you know Almost too late so we have to get it started Thought my eyes were open, why did nobody tell me? Everything was peachy, now it's looking unhealthy! Family is arguing, you'll struggle for the words Expert plans a eulogy, a paywall to be heard And if facts won't bail us out Gold chains and all the feelings will help us drown A wave is coming if you know what I mean Projected and dissected over billions of screens Rather not think about it, drink and shake the booty Keep your mind on fashion lines, cults are recruiting You can find what you want, only at a price Cracking under pressure, should be learning to play nice Plant the tree you'll never sit under If we fade away who will count the plunder? What's to do, just sit in my room? Sounds like survival, still looks like a tomb Silver tongued, but we smell a rat Keeping drilling, how original, coulda told you that And I Don't get how you're surprised Cartoon villains maybe should all wear a sign All the skeptics, everyone devout Surely see we can do without And we know that you know To build a better future we have to get it started Vampire nations don't need a priest Invent in your bedroom, globally release If they Drag their feet gotta do it yourself Wouldn't wait on a burger chain to care for your health Only have a few years at most Self organise coast to coast And we know that you know To build a better future we have to get it started Can't speak for me til you've spit my bars Take my shoes you can wear 'em, can't run a yard! Oppa-lenz made us late for rent Broad media training causing over-spend Champagne buttons are ethically gross Last days of Rome in your social posts Seeking affirmation, not a conflict unabated Who walks into a knife when the whole truth is serrated? Obvious you want to live your life A place to dwell, tucked in at night I feel that pull but can't ignore Every sign and the omens are at our door Not enough to carry on or trust in others to get it done First chimes of midnight have begun to ring Gotta try or being human doesn't mean a thing Unite and join the fray, it's all or nothing Only constant is to change, nature of time Promise we're not falling back, a second dark age But continue this divided, our potential's betrayed Your anger's justified, just misdirected Pointed at those just arrived, powerless like you Barely grazed the heavens before hitting the ground Look at what we built together in just a short go-around No more I told you so's Find out what moves your soul Search out a common thread We'll get there, our hearts bared No more I told you so's Find out what moves your soul Search out a common thread We'll get there, our hearts bared
