Progress And Technology

(album: The Vice Quadrant: A Space Opera, Pt. 1 - 2015)

The grass is oh, so green, 'cause it's been rendered there in our augmented realities
That's just fine with me, because it doesn't look all that fake to me
The particles that we are, are deconstructed here and reassembled afar
And that's just fine with me, 'cause it's the only way to travel overseas

Oh yes, we're in
Love with progress and technology
Mother earth rebelled again
We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in
Love with progress and technology
I hope this love will never end
We used to be so simple, but now

I have friends in space
Genetically altering the human race
Oh, they're flying around with their jet packs chasing those shooting stars
And they plug into computers to figure out who they really are

Because we're in
Love with progress and technology
Mother earth rebelled again

We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in
Love with progress and technology
I hope this love will never end
We used to be so simple, but now

The science of all things in this world of ours
Is understood now and reaching afar
Across all manner of time and space
There's no time for breaking down

The knowledge of all is fed right to our minds
And nobody dies now they live on through time
With computer simulations of their brain
Oh, can this all be so real?

Your heart stops at twenty five but it's alright
They digitally fabricate one over night
And beam it into your chest while you're asleep
I can't fathom all of this

Happiness sits in the palm of your hand
And you dial a feeling and get it right then
And your outward appearance is made just for you
Please, take this away from me
I now have everything
It's just the greatest thing

Now's the age of love and peace with our progress
It's all we have and want and saves us from ourselves
We head straight for the future not certain of what's in store

Time will tell a tale of all that we have done, it's all for tomorrow, it's all for the betterment of our
Love with progress and technology
Mother earth rebelled again
We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in
Love with progress and technology
I hope this love will never end

Oh yeah, we're in love with technology
Technology...
Oh yeah
