Age Of The Proud And Clueless

[Verse 1] Scroll-stained fingers Eyes wired wide Leaders play auctions While oceans rise Suited clowns laughing Gold in their teeth Signing blank pages We choke underneath [Chorus] This is the age of the proud and clueless Crowned by the screen By the cold and ruthless We trade our minds for a daily illusion I won’t go numb in this bright delusion Cut the cord Break the spell If this is heaven I’ll walk through hell [Verse 2] Smiles for the cameras Silence off-air They sell us panic Call it “care” Algorithms whisper What to think What to fear We call it freedom With a tag in our ear [Chorus] This is the age of the proud and clueless Crowned by the screen By the cold and ruthless We trade our minds for a daily illusion I won’t bow down to this bright delusion Pull the plug Crack the glass If this is progress I’ll take a pass [Bridge] Who’s in control When our shadows log in first Are we still human Or just habits they rehearsed I want a voice That doesn’t echo from a feed I want a thought That isn’t waiting to be screened [Chorus] This is the age of the proud and clueless Crowned by the screen By the cold and ruthless We trade our minds for a daily illusion I won’t die hooked to this bright confusion Raise your eyes Kill the trance If this is living We get one last chance
