Fake
When I was young I used to think
That when we reached the 21st century
That everything would be so sweet
We'd all live in global harmony
Now I'm here stupid rules the world
You can't believe how stupid it can be
Heading back, veering right
Become cruel, mean and greedy
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
Now we all live a lie
Imagined lives of false confection
Wear a mask to hide what's true
Fabricate your own persona
Infected by the cyber curse
Damned to live, lives of illusion
Do we shun reality
Choose to live in perfect delusion
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
The data gods feast on high
Greed corrupts... always
Faith and trust compromised
All of us betrayed
Big brother logged inside our heads
Thoughts held to ransom
Zombie bots mesmerised
Trapped inside their web
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
That when we reached the 21st century
That everything would be so sweet
We'd all live in global harmony
Now I'm here stupid rules the world
You can't believe how stupid it can be
Heading back, veering right
Become cruel, mean and greedy
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
Now we all live a lie
Imagined lives of false confection
Wear a mask to hide what's true
Fabricate your own persona
Infected by the cyber curse
Damned to live, lives of illusion
Do we shun reality
Choose to live in perfect delusion
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
The data gods feast on high
Greed corrupts... always
Faith and trust compromised
All of us betrayed
Big brother logged inside our heads
Thoughts held to ransom
Zombie bots mesmerised
Trapped inside their web
Welcome to the world at F.A.K.E
Hear the truth you want to hear, you know that they'll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don't care just stay logged-in
They'll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21st Century
