Like media images gone berserk
With video monitors refusing to work
We never understood anything we did
We were the future kid
Like computer banks about to explode
A lonely hitchhiker on a crowded road
Our lives were sold to the highest bid
We were the future kid
Technology... with a capital T
Methodology... with a capital Me
Long ago we lost the ability
To achieve personal stability
Long ago
We lost the ability to achieve
Withdrawal babies in need of a fix
TV junkies at the age of six
We can't remember where we kept things hid
We were the future kid
