My New World

I don't understand why everyone is so upset
About the way things are
I was born here and I love it here
And it seems to me we did ourselves a favor

Old people won't shut up about the golden age
I have heard about the golden age
And your generation-Y nostalgia
Makes me tune right out

"Blah, blah, I miss the stars
I heard they look like pinpricks in a sheet of tin foil
Hung in the window of a dark room"...BIG DEAL!

They say "Sunsets never used to look like this, all blues and greens"
They're beautiful!
Admit it, they're beautiful

It was never an apocalypse
It was our rebirth
Our brave new world
And World War X gave us chips in the head
Which gave us an edge on the walking dead

I'm not afraid of the living dead
All you gotta do is shoot em in the head
They fall right down, and let's admit
They were the walking dead a long time ago

No fair!
The writing on the wall
It's funny how you never talk about that at all
But as you can see from a thousand miles away
Exactly where we'd be today

With your peak oil production
Your genetic disasters
Genetic mutations growing faster and faster
Your supercolliders ripping holes in space
Your virtual worlds that deny time and place

I'm glad we're here
This is my home
That world destroyed deserves to be gone
It's a beautiful place full of new possibilities
A canvas wiped clean, and new realities
