Technology Takeover Lyrics

[Intro: George Carlin]
This country’s finished, it’s been sliding downhill a long time
And everybody’s got a cellphone that makes pancakes, so they don’t want to make any trouble

*Granite State*

[Verse 1]
The air is thick, I’m wearing thin
And so much shit going on I don’t know where to begin
Society’s ill, we know that the government’s corrupt, we know that
The questions is: "how to control that?"
They got us programmed and socially networked
Think of who’s seeing all your email and texts first
And no one communicates face-to-face
We’re all depending on Facebook, blogs, and Myspaces
Kids committing suicide for something as small as a rumour on the internet
They couldn't resolve
And I watch as a whole generation free-falls
To a digital death we’ve all come to accept
This wild world of poison, I’m caught in its web
It got in my head and I just want to disconnect
Cause until we start avoiding this automated noise
We’ll be autotuned out till there’s nothing left

[Hook x2: Granite State]
What have we become?
It's out of my hands, it's out of control
I’ve gone numb, out of my mind, it’s over
What have we become?
It’s out of my mind, it’s out of control
I’ve gone numb, t-t-technology is taking over

[Verse 2]
What the hell they letting kids watch now?
And apologize for later when no one is around
I know it sounds harmless, right? But look at the truth
You're sticking guns in their face, robbing them of their youth
It’s nothing to lose a million dollars breaking the law
If your ratings go up and haters wanna see more
This is media war, how the rich control the poor
But the clicker’s in your hand, so who’s really at the core
Of the problem? To the fox I play possum
Wait for my chance, then I strike like boxing
I ain’t like talking, people never listen
Advertising everywhere, I call it CellaVision
Who the fuck are y’all kidding? This is planetary prison
Every single one of us, no matter what your skin in
No matter where you’re living, your god or what you're giving
It’s time to put the shovel down and think of why you’re digging

[Verse 3]
And not a secret anymore, it's all put on blast
And fifteen seconds of fame is Youtube trash
But this necessary evil that we go through
Is the first and only option that we go to
In the information age we’re caught in the haze
The talking heads, walking dead, living what they say
Ain't nothing gonna change until we change our frame of mind
We’re consumed with doom to fold in or die

[Outro: George Carlin]
Power does what it wants and now they just put it right out front and say this is what we’re doing to you, folks. People have been bought off by gizmos and toys in this country and no one questions things anymore

[Hook x2: Granite State]
What have we become?
It's out of my hands, it's out of control
I’ve gone numb, out of my mind, it’s over
What have we become?
It’s out of my mind, it’s out of control
I’ve gone numb, t-t-technology is taking over

[Outro: DC the MIDI Alien & Esoteric]
*Avengers Radio Call and you're on the air*
*Yo, it's Esoteric, what up?*
*Eyo what's poppin' E? Yo thanks for taking care of them security guards for us dawg*
*Yeah I got these guys handcuffed man, it's nothing, I'm right outside*
*Word up. I'm about to drop this Soldiers/Survivors joint on 'em*
*Word up*
*We catch you on the way out man, have that get-away car ready for us aight?*
*No doubt*
*Word. Soldiers/Survivors on Avengers Radio, let's do it!*
