lyrics

Big blue machine, it tells me
everything and nothing’s fine
Its ones and zeros natter on
but no one minds

I get a buzz whenever
something happens in the world
Another dilettante reports
on grave concerns
till we see nothing,
nor are we really seen

But I’m scraping by on all the bits of hope I’ve found
though I’ve never felt this close to the ground
But there’s still a long, long, long
way down

I can’t believe the thoughts
I feel compelled to express
They wither under faint
attention and duress
Overwrought on trivia
I’m lost to myself

I’m scraping by on all the bits of hope I’ve found
though I’ve never felt this close to the ground,
there is still beauty all around
There must be something real to be found
cos there’s still a long, long, long
way down

(Fuck this machine!)
