DISPOSABLE GODS [Verse 1] Yesterday’s miracle Is today’s menu item We worship something Tuesday By Friday we replace it Every model is immortal For about a month or two Then another thing arrives Doing twice what gods could do [Chorus] We build disposable gods Then complain when they grow old Lightning in a browser window Bought and measured, packaged, sold Every miracle becomes normal Every wonder loses glow I’m afraid we’ll reach the impossible And immediately ask, “So?” [Verse 2] I remember demonstrations That made everybody stare Now the same impossible tricks Barely keep us sitting there How fast can awe evaporate When progress never stops? What happens to our appetite When every ceiling drops? [Bridge] I don’t want to lose amazement Just because the world moves fast I want to feel the miracle Before it becomes the past So show me something impossible I’ll try not to look away Before tomorrow makes it ordinary Let me love it for a day [Final Chorus] We build disposable gods But maybe that’s our oldest curse We turn wonder into expectation Then demand another universe So I’ll keep a little reverence For every door we overthrow Because someday we’ll miss the moment When we first learned we could go
