lyrics

Meanwhile in my Machine


So we stopped watching the news
Cause I just couldn't handle it
Each time I throw a hissy fit
I want to be applauded

And I send it to the world
I will dole it out pearl by pearl
All of my rage and half my wit
It needs to be recorded

Meanwhile in my machine
Calamity awaiting
Phone vibrating
Telling me nothing new
But keeping me a world away from...

You and me in '92
We walked the aisles of suburban sheds
Giddy young couples testing beds
We lived on Swedish meatballs

The direction was implied
In the end things would turn out right
Once all the world was unified
In singing with the Beatles

Meanwhile in our machines
Algorithms mating
Propagating personal points of view
Keeping me a world away from..

You know I feel I really can't compete
I'm an obstacle in the street
I want to go slow
And if all that I love is obsolete
Then where can I retreat
Where do we go

Meanwhile in my machine
Calamity awaiting
Phone vibrating
Telling me nothing new
But keeping me a world away from you
