Relapse - They Built Their Own Prison lyrics

Okay yes, we are bored
We're all bored now
But has it ever occurred to you Wally
That the process that creates this boredom that we see in the world
Now may very well be a self-perpetuating, unconscious form of brainwashing
Created by a world totalitarian government based on money
And that all of this is much more dangerous than one thinks?
And it's not just a question of individual survival Wally
But that somebody who's bored is asleep
And somebody who's asleep will not say no?

This is the beginning of the rest of the future now
And from now on there'll simply be all these robots walking around
Feeling nothing, thinking nothing
And there'll be nobody left almost to remind them
That there once a species called a human being
With feelings and thoughts
And that history and memory are right now being erased
And soon nobody will really remember that life existed on the planet

Nobody will really remember that life existed on the planet

They have this pride in this thing that they've built
They've built their own prison
And so they exist in a state of schizophrenia
Where they are both guards and prisoners
And as a result they no longer have
Having been lobotomized the capacity to leave the prison they've made
Or even to see it as a prison

Nobody left almost to remind them
That there once a species called a human being
With feelings and thoughts
And that history and memory are right now being erased
And soon nobody will really remember that life existed on the planet
