Fading Wisdom

Verse 1 Every generation, man, we think we're so wise But we just keep on sinking, deeper in our lies We build our shiny towers, reachin' for the sky But in the end, we’re clueless, and we don’t know why Chorus Every generation, man gets dumber We’re losing our way, forgettin’ what we ponder Think we’re movin’ forward, but we’re just goin’ under Every generation, man gets dumber Verse 2 We got our gadgets and our screens, glued to what we see But our brains are gettin’ weaker, livin’ in a fantasy We used to sail the seas, explore the unknown Now we’re trapped in algorithms, minds of stone Chorus Every generation, man gets dumber We’re losing our way, forgettin’ what we ponder Think we’re movin’ forward, but we’re just goin’ under Every generation, man gets dumber Bridge Where did the wisdom go, the lessons of the past? We’re chasin’ after shadows, nothin’ here will last We’re drownin’ in the data, but the knowledge is gone In this world of illusion, how do we move on? Chorus Every generation, man gets dumber We’re losing our way, forgettin’ what we ponder Think we’re movin’ forward, but we’re just goin’ under Every generation, man gets dumber Outro Every generation, we fall a little more Chasin’ after nothing, what are we fighting for? We used to dream of futures, now we can’t recall Every generation, man, we’re headin’ for a fall You said:
