The Golden Age

[Verse 1]
They say this is the Golden Age
Video millennium
Tidings from the self-made media sage
Tickings of the bio bomb

Jet set etiquette consciousness
Monosyllabic goodbyes
No one cares about no one else
We're so used to the capital "I"

[Chorus]
The golden age (electric neanderthal)
The golden age (with digital morality)
The golden age
Nothing really changes in the golden age

[Verse 2]
They say this is the Golden Age
In which both virtue and flaw
And the entire human element
Are effects of the quantum laws

Deep in the wells of the centrifuge
The spectrum of the soul is mined
It seems we know ourselves too well
And we don't like what we find

[Chorus]
The golden age (electric neanderthal)
The golden age (with digital morality)
The golden age
Nothing really changes in the golden age

[Verse 3]
They say this is the Golden Age
We got the tapes of the truth in drag
We got thermographs of the fires of hell
And renderings of the cosmic bang

And if this is the Golden Age
Are we no longer human beings
Are we civilization's afterbirth
Some kind of flesh and blood machines

[Chorus]
In the golden age (electric neanderthal)
The golden age (with digital morality)
The golden age
Nothing really changes in the golden age
