Lizard Nation

You see them everywhere, every place you go, you see them
Shuffling around your local Tesco Extra
There's nothing there, a thousand yard stare looking at the
Spaces inbetween, the quantum extreme

Walking dead with a reptile in the head, cold
Heart, cold eyes, parasitically lobotomised
No emotion, not a flicker of a smile and never
Trust a crocodile - just keep your arms
Inside the boat, if you want to stay afloat
If you want to stay alive, don't listen to their lies

Open up your eyes, and see the truth
Watch out for the men in shades and suits
They're here for subjugation
Welcome to the lizard nation

Nobody knows exactly when they came along, but it
Seems to be around about the turn of the Millenium
When mass communication first became a thing, when the
Internet got faster - and people stopped listening

All the time they were waiting for the day that
Technology would open up the super highway
In a wave they invaded our senses
Assuming control, destroying our defences
So feel the need for the drip-drip-feed of the
Social media co-dependency

Open up your eyes, and see the truth
Watch out for the men in shades and suits
They're here for subjugation
Welcome to the lizard nation

So check your phone again
Instructions coming in
It's so Pavlovian
Stimulation/response/stimulation/response
I can see them I can see them and it's filling me with dread
I close my eyes but
I can hear them I can hear them I can hear them in my head
A flashing light and a
Notification
And I must pay attention
This is communication
Welcome to the lizard nation
