This song is the first narrative break in 01011001, and jumps forward to an average human life. It shows a time around the present day (2008) when human life is generally good, but the foreshadowing of the sixth extinction is also present.
(Ty Tabor:)
I hugged the wife and drove to work today
It was only a few miles
Was in a hurry but the lights were changing up ahead
So I stepped on the gas
I checked the Mac and left it on over night
Downloading all the latest files
Peer-to-peer, the torrent flows into my lap
And I disconnect
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, no need to remind us
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know but won't connect the dots
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, locked away inside us
(Ty Tabor And Arjen Lucassen:) We are dying for tomorrow, we are living for today
(Ty Tabor:)
I rushed back home to my family
I got my son a brand new game
No need to cook, I picked up fast food on the way
And it's finger-licking good
Have you seen little Steve today?
Guess he's still up there in his room
But if he comes down tell him
I'll be right here just staring at the tube
Playing his game
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, no need to remind us
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know but won't connect the dots
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, locked away inside us
(Ty Tabor And Arjen Lucassen:) We are dying for tomorrow, we are living for today
(Ty Tabor:)
Don't you think it's rather warm tonight
Especially for the time of year
I turn up the air
Pull the sheets up to my chin
And I close my eyes
Can't relax, can't fall asleep
Should I take another pill?
I turn up the lights, light up a cigarette and smile
I've got it made
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, no need to remind us
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know but won't connect the dots
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, locked away inside us
(Ty Tabor And Arjen Lucassen:) We are dying for tomorrow
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, no need to remind us
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know but won't connect the dots
(Ty Tabor:) We all know
(Arjen Lucassen:) We all know, locked away inside us
(Ty Tabor And Arjen Lucassen:) We are dying for tomorrow, we are living for today
