Pop Will Eat Itself
It’s kinda like a song about how the civilization will outgrow it’s own origin, and generation by generation we will be working for a distant future, that’s build around things we know but will appear alien and disconnected. Also it will hurt nature or some shit idk the dude is talking in hieroglyph...
[Verse 1]
I am he who is X, Y & Zee
I carry no card, my life is cheap
I have no worries, I do not fret
Some may have what I'm yet to get
You may wonder, "Is it how?"
A kitten may turn into a cow
With bells and horns and tinned corned beef
Forests, profits, plastic high streets
I am he who is A, B & Cee
An easy option like twentieth century
Satisfaction guaranteed, it's easy!
Well, let's steal a spaceship and head for the sun
Shoot the stars with a lemonade ray gun
Make a movie and a TV show
You be Jane, I'm George Jetson
[Chorus]
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
[Verse 2]
From out our window, we can see
Electric sunshine and oxygen factories
Clockwork tides, synthetic trees
Just like the real ones on Vee Tee
Mother nature and father time
Used to be good friends of mine
But now we've put them in a home
Filed under "uses unknown"
(No pop, no style)
Is a phrase out of phase to praise what's worthwhile
This is as good as it gets, this is the best
Let's catch the last rays of civilisation
Tune in to a subspace station
Turn up the DJ, let's get lost
In intergalactic punk rock hip hop
[Chorus]
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
[Interlude]
Let me tell you a little something about love
It has a voracious appetite, it eats everything
But I'll tell you something else
You feed it right, and it can be a beautiful thing
And that's what we have
You know, when someone believes in you, man
You can do anything, any fucking thing in the entire universe!
And when you believe right back in that someone
Then watch out, world!
Because nobody can stop you then, nobody! Ever!
[Verse 3]
This is the time, the time of our lives
Escaping time for the all time highs
Of love, lust, laughter, that make us sweat
Let's simulate sensory amplification
This is PWEI-zation
This is this, it's the living end
(Je t'aime! Encore! Je t'aime!)
[Chorus]
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
I am you and you are me
X, Y, Zee to A, B, Cee
You, me, us, we are one
