[Verse 1]
Soon we'll be scouring ravaged landscapes
Scavenging scraps of the city to salvage the past
The social divide between us and them
Has far surpassed the weight of our wallets
[Chorus]
Electric minds, nothing means anything
When we cheapen our genuine feelings with a computer screen
Electric fingertips to sell your soul to corporate demons
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
Charting your consumption to construct the perfect mold
[Verse 2]
I fuckin' give up playing catch up, I can't keep up, you can keep it
If you cannot see the change, it's because it isn't there
The means to build technology to perpetuate these trends
Costs us so much more than dollars and cents in the end
[Chorus]
Electric minds, nothing means anything
When we cheapen our genuine feelings with a computer screen
Electric fingertips to sell your soul to corporate demons
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
Charting your consumption to construct the perfect mold
[Bridge: Whitney & (Jesse)]
Pull the wires from your teeth, your fingers from the keys
Your spine from the cable, your eyes from the screen
Pull the wires from your teeth, your fingers from the keys
Your spine from the cable, your eyes from the screen
Pull the wires from your teeth, your fingers from the keys
(Your entire life fits in the palms of their hands)
Your spine from the cable, your eyes from the screen
(Can't you see it's only getting worse?)
Pull the wires from your teeth, your fingers from the keys
(Humans have evolved into corporations)
Your spine from the cable, your eyes from the screen
(Can't you see this is 1984?)
[Chorus]
Electric minds, nothing means anything
When we cheapen our genuine feelings with a computer screen
Electric fingertips to sell your soul to corporate demons
Marketing your life to fit the figures and the polls
Charting your consumption to construct the perfect mold
