My New World

They don't understand why everyone is so upset

About the way things are

I was born here and I love it here

And it seems to me we did ourselves a favor



Old people, shut up about the golden age

I have heard about the golden age

In your generation, whining nostalgia

Makes me tune right out



"Blah, blah, I miss the stars

I heard they look liked pinpricks in a sheet of tin foil

On the window of a dark room"...BIG DEAL!



They said "Sunsets never used to look like this, all blues and greens"

They're beautiful!

Admit it, they're beautiful



It was never an apocalypse

It was our rebirth

Our brave new world

And WalMart X (?) gave us chips in the head

Which gave us an edge on the walking dead



I'm not afraid of the living dead

All you gotta do is shoot em in the head

They fall right down, and let's admit

They were the walking dead a long time ago



Use their

The writing on the wall

It's funny how they never talk about that at all

But as you can see from a thousand miles away

Exactly where we'd be today



With your peak oil production

Your Con Ed disasters

Genetic mutations going faster and faster

Your supercolliders ripping holes in space

Your virtual world, set tonight, time of place



I love it here

This is my home

That would destroy it deserves to be gone

It's a beautiful place full of new possibilities

A canvas wiped clean, the new human race
