The Grand Experiment

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dessa] It begins with a flash I know they say it ends the same Bit of skill, bit of chance Now every player, guess the game We start with these planets Waltzing through the darkness Tip the axis; that one's ours Zoom the camera in, cue lights up, dim the stars We shape the stone Paint our pictures on the wall We hunt alone, plant in spring Learn to harvest in the fall And we choose a king Mine the metal for his forges, to better wage our wars And all of Olympus is laughing Until we go and split the atom [Verse 2: Sims] Push that metal on down the road We built this city on coal and gold Money that trickle out Fill up that cup, sip it down From the salt in the sails, on down the rails "Everything for sale" is the golden rule Including, well... well, I'm no fool They get in a rush, in a haze, but I get Out of mind, out of body, out of pocket I don't mind putting on a bit of mileage But I won't autopilot with my eyelids shut I'm still gunning But I learned what's worth hunting And I learned what's worth nothing Saw it, read it, outdone it [Hook] There's no escape They always looking for that easy out But there's nowhere to go, yeah [Verse 3: Cecil Otter] Now all the parts are running Sparks are spilling out the gears Over some thousand faces Waiting years to see this work Aching cause they need it first Patient, but they seem berserk Craving for that feast of merch Yo, save a slice for me and her! Isn't it marvelous? Just darling, it's the newest thing It's totally harmless, but its charming, it's the cutest thing But it bites - not hard, just hard enough to break the skin And your bone, and your back, and the bank... But wait! It comes with a warranty For a week, and that's respectable It's cheap and it's ethical Well, it's ethical - well, it's magical, really See, you put the cash in the till Fill in the blanks, that's it For my next trick, I'll need your password and an exit And then poof - cue the fog machine [Hook] There's no escape They always looking for that easy out But there's nowhere to go, yeah [Verse 4: Mike Mictlan] Modern man Out of hand Motor mind Off the line Automate the operator (Can you hear me clearly?) I'm gonna live forever Give me guerilla arms Slingshot me into outer space In hyper-colored glitter bombs We'll make our mark, huh? They'll put no stops to us We'll leave our footprints on foothills And dance the Megatropolis Pushing evolution faster Catching continental drifts Desperately seeking solutions To problems we know we'll never fix In the belly of a robot, out the valley of a microchip Dialysis in Wonderland to Apple-Z the viruses I've never been myself, no human experience You can't Apple-S yourself, this is the grand experiment [Hook] There's no escape They always looking for that easy out But there's nowhere to go, yeah There's no patience They always looking for that easy out But there's nowhere to go, yeah
