lyrics

A California lie
The California dream
The silicon valley sky
A silicon valley scheme

A gold rush wind
No luster or shine
Sun baked avenues
And white collar crime
Here it comes, the future again
Is the future technology’s twin?

Lay down

No, I can’t take it
No, I can’t shake it off anymore
Who let these eyes and ears in my room?
Who thought Big Brother could grow up so soon?

Lay down

Skyscrapers as usual
(Hush, hush, little one)
A turmoil in business casual
(Hush, hush little boy)
A harried humdrum battle
(Hush, hush little girl)

A gold rust wind
Blustrous brine
Rain glazed boulevards
And blue collar time

Here it comes, the past again
Is the past technology’s twin?

No, I won’t take it
No, I won’t shake it off any more
Get these eyes and ears from my room
This Big Brother brat, is just a crazy loon
Like a cartoon

Yeah! Let’s take it
Yes, let’s shake them up some more
Your eyes and ears are your own room
Don’t let them take your tongue and your brain so soon
