The fear of living in this world scares me like a little girl
Real monsters out there with too much power could wipe us out within the hour
Too scared now to face the world too scared to leave the house
We are shut inside our little boxes like a laboratory mouse
We buy everything through a computer screen
Converse through bit's of glass
Tapping away the zombie way with our eyes downcast
We have little patience anymore we want things quick and speedy
From films and food and furniture wolf it down we're all so greedy
Consuming more than we need recycling less than we should
Buying more crap to fill the gap for the greater good
We don't need all this stuff to live it's just a false distraction
You're being played by medicine men We need a plan of action!
So turn off your phone meet eye to eye and do some social interaction
