lyrics

(v1)
Welcome to the future
We've got broken hearts and calluses
You'd hope there wouldn't be so much to tell

We count up all our tragedies
And celebrate our victories
The former we remember all too well

We all pretend we're enemies
That's what they tell us on TV
And so we often never leave our shell

Isn't that swell?

(chorus)
Hmmmmm…

(v2)
Keyboard warriors own the web
They smack us all upside the head
If not enough are meeting their demands

Ignorance is commonplace
And history hits us in the face
Before we start repeating it again

We overlook our greatest gifts
And tremble at the slightest shifts
We criticize what we don't understand

It's getting out of hand

(repeat chorus)

(v3)
Viruses are killing folks
And many think it's all a hoax
Celebrities all think they know the way

Violence is encouraged when
The cameras point at governments
And so begins the everlasting chase

Everyone is in the wrong
We've known this detail all along
And yet we still ignore our own mistakes

We treat it like a race

(repeat chorus) x2

(outro)
Welcome to the future
We've got broken hearts and calluses
You'd hope there wouldn't be so much to tell
