[Verse 1] Can you smell the scent in the breeze? Can you remember when you could do whatever you pleased? The sound of birds singing in the trees? Or is this just some fantasy? Just some make-believe? [Verse 2] Neon stands where flowers once bloomed The lambent towers dominate the gloom A sky now tinged with everything but blue Do we live in an electric veneer, Is this all untrue? [Pre Chorus] Please God, wake me from this dream This is an illusion, all just digital code We have no feeling, no emotion We are programmed to do as we are told A future promised, yet to us it was mis-sold [Chorus] Neon Lights, Electric Nights Overloading all of our senses Just move along, our freedoms gone The matrix pulls us to our knees Don’t interact, just use your app To get whatever you need The corporations have you Where they need you To feed you all of their lies How can we escape? Can we survive? Is there anyone who can hear our cries? There is always an excuse Always a Corporate alibi [Verse 3] Concrete and steel is all we see Giant screens telling us what to believe A beautiful light show, hiding the truth A superficial skin Underneath is just corruption and lies [Verse 4] The natural world is in the past It came and went, forgotten all too fast Everything is fake, it is all just made Manufactured, created The untruth fed to us every single day [Bridge] We were promised Utopia Instead, delivered Dystopia We are no longer citizens Just numbers, resources When will this ever end? [Chorus] Neon Lights, Electric Nights Overloading all of our senses Just move along, our freedoms gone The matrix pulls us to our knees Don’t interact, just use your app To get whatever you need The corporations have you Where they need you To feed you all of their lies How can we escape? Can we survive? Is there anyone who can hear our cries? There is always an excuse Always a Corporate alibi [Chorus] Neon Lights, Electric Nights Overloading all of our senses Just move along, our freedoms gone The matrix pulls us to our knees Don’t interact, just use your app To get whatever you need The corporations have you Where they need you To feed you all of their lies How can we escape? Can we survive? Is there anyone who can hear our cries? There is always an excuse Always a Corporate alibi
