Lyrics:

We behold here the opening phase
It is a processed world
It is a processed world
It is a processed world
Look at what happened

Why is this?
Why is this?

I can count on two hands
Look at what happened
Look at what happened
Look at what happened

A machine that runs on the sensational
That’s the way the system works

My own talking head
My own talking head
My own talking head
My own talking head
My own talking head
My own talking head

Working with hideous efficiency
Trying hard to kill it
Trying hard to kill it
Trying hard to kill it

Personally, I rather doubt it
I think it goes deeper than that

Creatures of a mass society
You can’t blame ‘em
Their hands are tied

He also, in some sense, participated in a process
And that’s the problem
I don’t know the context
I don’t know the context
I don’t know the context
This doesn’t mean we should turn

That’s a chilling thought up front
Easy opportunities are afforded

Form was taking place before my eyes
Subjects that diminish the attention

A machine that runs on the sensational

The most striking realization that came to me
I expected the title to be optimistic

Let’s just take a look at the Big Prize
There you have it
There you have it
There you have it

I was an oddity at the gathering
It doesn’t seem to matter

I found myself appearing on a panel
Easy opportunities are afforded
And that’s the problem

I feel funny about blaming them
It doesn’t seem to matter
I feel funny about blaming them
It doesn’t seem to matter

Creatures of a mass society
Working with hideous efficiency
That’s a chilling thought up front
That’s a chilling thought up front

Over the long run I’m delirious
I expected the title to be optimistic
