Ten Thousand Lines - Electric President

We paint the future from this bedroom

With lots of progress;

cold and heartless

And nothing lives, just twitches and moves

It’s all synthetic, but it’s all we’ve got

Thousands of wires

Spread through the halls

Thousands of eyes

Live in our walls

And now they can see just what we’ve done, oh no

Now they can see what we’ve become

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

Ba-dum, ba-dum-bum

No sun, just radiation here

Get it by the lungful

No time, no way to count the years

Except by creaking sounds in your bones

(Whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!) (Ah!)

(No, no no! No no!) (NO!) (Whoa, no no!)

(AUGH) (Aah!) (No no no, no)

(AUGH! No no, no) (NO!)

(God dammit)

They’ve got your name, they’ve got your number

They’ve got your hopes, your dreams, your future

They’ve got your loved ones by the throat

And soon enough they’ll let you know

And I’ve learned enough to keep my mouth shut (We've though too much;

said nothing)

I’ve learned enough to watch my back (We've heard it all; there’s nothing new)

And I’ve learned enough to become wallpaper (We've seen the way to our undoing)

And blend in with the cracks (And the way to yours as well)

Ten thousand lines run from our minds

And ten thousand plans spread from our hands

And now we can see just what we’ve done, oh no

And now we can see what we’ve become, oh no

And now we can see just where we stand
