The Veldt Lyrics
[Verse 1: Chris James]
Happy life with the machines
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy technology
Outside, the lions roam
Feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us, now
So in love with the way we are
[Chorus]
Here, the world that the children made
The world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
[Verse 2]
Every night, they rock us to sleep
Digital family
Is it real or is it a dream?
Can you believe in machines?
Outside, the beating sun
Can you hear the screams?
We'll never leave, look at us, now
So in love with the way we are
[Chorus]
Here, the world that the children made
The world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
[Interlude]
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
[Verse 3]
Happy life with the machines
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy technology
Outside, the lions roam
Feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us, now
So in love with the way we are
[Chorus]
Here, the world that the children made
The world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
Here, the world that the children made
