I picture technical tears
in the next few years
feelings changed at the push of a button
Love existing only on screen
fiber optic veins with blood
unlike any we've ever seen
so, before we desensitize these heavens
let's look and listen to Zagher and Evans
I imagine food administered
with a needle, and about one-third
of our body will be filled with metal
everyone unconsciously relaxes
and wastes away
and there'll be more sure things than death and taxes
so, before we desensitize these heavens
let's look and listen to Zagher and Evans
I fear what came from Orwell's head
will travel through time from '84 and make it's bed
in our changing world
we'll talk to each other
with a new, controlled language
puppeteered by "Big Brother"
so, before we desensitize these heavens
let's acknowledge Zagher and Evans
This is one that I don't care for. It feels like...it's hard to describe.
I didn't even want to finish it. I just wanted to scribble it out in my
notebook and forget about it. But, I did get to weave in George Orwell's book
"1984." Oh, and this is based on the song "2525," by Zagher and Evans. hm.
