lyrics

In the cold light of morning I packed a case
I knew the direction but not the place
Because the chance and the whim of a drag and a drop
Could scatter us all
Where there's nothing waiting behind the trees
No gurt bleddy worms, no killer bees
No dim lit faces hiding under hoods
Just a swarm of tablets all up to no good
there's always Somebody on a laptop...

Who's that in there just a clicking on a mouse?
Clocking up the bedrooms in every house
From factory to farm to operating alone
They would scatter us all
So don't look to me for guidance the only advice I've got
Is writ sans serif on a van that won't stop
If you want to change this cruel world into something you want
Better start off by choosing an appropriate font
There's always..

My composting eye will still stare from the cam
Long after this village forgets who I am
Can the same supply that powers the fence not enlighten us all?
From middle of the  earth to the ends of the sky
From the terrors of the deep to the angels that fly
I sit and watch and act resigned
Seems that my dreams were all designed by
Somebody on a laptop
