Verse 1 Big house standing, but the family got small, More degrees hanging, less sense at all. Medicine advanced, but our health declined, Making more money, losing peace of mind. High IQ, but emotions run cold, We know so much, but wisdom’s getting old. A thousand affairs, but nobody’s in love, A thousand damn friends, not one you can trust. Pre-Chorus We built it bigger, made it faster, Called it progress, watched disaster. Everything we wanted came So why the hell don’t we feel the same? Chorus We’ve got everything and nothing, More than we could ever need. A world overflowing with connection, Still dying from the space between. We bought the clock but lost the time, Built the future, left our souls behind. If this is progress, tell me what it cost We gained the whole damn world And somehow ended lost. Verse 2 So many humans, where’s humanity? Costly watches, no time to breathe. Internet faster than it’s ever been, Relationships dying before they begin. Smart little devices, dumb conversations, Followers climbing, less real connection. Big salary coming, satisfaction gone, High-tech living with our patience withdrawn. Pre-Chorus We built it bigger, made it faster, Called it progress, watched disaster. Everything we wanted came So why the hell don’t we feel the same? Chorus We’ve got everything and nothing, More than we could ever need. A world overflowing with connection, Still dying from the space between. We bought the clock but lost the time, Built the future, left our souls behind. If this is progress, tell me what it cost We gained the whole damn world And somehow ended lost. Verse 3 Opinions screaming, understanding dies, More selfies taken, less respect inside. Cities getting bigger, hearts getting small, Millions packed together, nobody knows us at all. Shopping online for another quick high, Offline happiness is harder to buy. Contacts by the hundreds lighting up the phone, But when your whole world falls who do you call when you’re alone? Bridge More knowledge-less wisdom. More medicine-more sickness. More money-less freedom. More people-more distance. More followers-less friendship. More talking-less listening. More ways to reach each other Yet something human’s missing. We conquered distance. We conquered time. Put all human knowledge On a screen we hold inside our hands But never learned to quiet our minds. Breakdown BIG HOUSE! SMALL HOME! FULL CONTACT LIST! STILL ALONE! SMART DEVICE! EMPTY WORDS! EVERYBODY TALKING, NOBODY HEARD! Final Chorus We’ve got everything and nothing, Every luxury we dreamed. The brightest age in human history Ain’t as bright as it might seem. We bought the clock but lost the time, Built the future, left ourselves behind. Maybe progress isn’t measured by How high we build or fast we fly, If we lose our love, If we lose our peace, If we lose the things That make us human underneath... Then we gained the whole damn world Just to lose everything.
