lyrics

The modern world the modern family.
We reached a place where we're defined by progress
We worry no more of proficiency.
Our server's backed up to insure our success.

Is it fair to say that we won't be OK
Watching from the back row as it falls apart
Is it safe to bet that this is what we get
Hear the final beat of our robotic heart.

Moving forward exponentially
We think technology makes everyone smarter.
We're so efficient so we can hardly see.
That it could break apart. Yes, it could break apart.

Is it fair to say that we won't be OK
Watching from the back row as it falls apart
Is it safe to bet that this is what we get
Hear the final beat of our robotic heart.

If it shuts down, and we're in darkness, maybe finally we'll see.
All our knowledge locked in a room and we forgot to make a key.

There's too much noise to hear the prophets speak
About our evil comfortable dependency.
No one notices the secrets leak.
Can it be real? Is no one at the wheel?

Is it fair to say that we won't be OK
Watching from the back row as it falls apart
Is it safe to bet that this is what we get
Hear the final beat of our robotic heart.
