I just read a book
I think I’ll pat myself and on the back
Feel good
Still I had my phone in my hand
I’ve never worn a handcuff
But never got my hands free
Look, not like I don’t understand
It’s all good
When you got a phone in your hand
Your plugged in, switched on
You know what the craic is
You don’t need a map cause you
Know you got an app for that
But where you gonna be
When the grid goes down
I don’t wanna look
If Im never gonna like what I see
Cause dissonance
Does not exist in this dojo
We’re fucked
We all know the wheels have come off
Too shook
To look out the window and see
It’s a new day, new plan
Taking away
The freedom our species was born with
That they went war for
Abolished and aborted
Just ‘cause you can’t see the driver
Don’t mean you’re not stalling
I guess you never find out
I guess you never find out
No
I guess you never find out
And if you never ask
Then you're never gonna
Gonna
Know
I guess you never find out
I guess you never find out
No
I guess you never find out
And if you never ask
Then you're never gonna
I wish I had a truck
Instead I’ve got a phone in my hand
Might as well be handcuff
Not a good look
We got puppets on tv
Who refuse to see me
For choices I make with regards to my own body
Told to follow the science yet the science is fluid
Try to force us to do things that they would never do
It’s a sham
But you know what’s surprised me the most
It’s not that they would try it
It’s that no one gives a fuck
I guess you never find out
I guess you never find out
No
I guess you never find out
And if you never ask
Then you're never gonna
Gonna
Know
I guess you never find out
I guess you never find out
No
I guess you never find out
And if you never ask
Then you're never gonna
Gonna know
