Our Friends in Multimedia

Save me from it
I disapprove of this rubicon you insist to move through
It's so peculiar – why, when we know our culture, plight, and state is so debased by the techno-faked highs –
That we're hot mainline, we're on a mainline through

Lately, were worse off, per se
The electronic age imbued our heads with cellular personality
And the flip screen is now the "retina of your mind's eye”

Obscure instruments — what's to comprehend?
My cyber-flesh is learning to breathe the oxygen

Will our friends in multimedia pray to delay the change, please?

Describe, for me, a way to eschew it
Whatever you do, entropy continues and there's nil to do about it, so you may as well oblige
Since the dawn of time, conveniences - like fire - can either keep you warm at night, or burn the town down in no time

Either way, we're better off today
The information age renews our sense of everyday communities where the chip scheme is now the government of you and I
Yet they complain, pejoratively: “the global village is anathema to me”

Diverse instruments - can't you comprehend?
My nano-tech is slowly breeding by itself
Why misconvey, in your luddite ways, the grim causality of pure technologies
Please don't dissuade our friends in multimedia from paving ways to better days

Yeah, our friends in multimedia can pave the way to better days
