Go Now

(album: When The Machine Stops - 2019)

The whole room's feeling almost famous
Clout-chasers talking way too loud
Everybody's got their lines rehearsed
Striking poses when the camera's out

I know that look from the ceiling to the floor
I showed my face we don't owe them anymore

If you wanna go now then I wanna go now too
If you wanna go now then I'm leaving here with you
We can just close out, slip off
What is this party and who are these people anyway?
Say the word and we'll go now let's go now
Who is driving home? Scissors, paper, stone...

Everybody here is made of plastic
Public figures with unique personal brands
After a while everything sounds like static
Who's going to listen if everyone's in the band?

If you wanna go now then I wanna go now too
If you wanna go now then I'm leaving now with you
We can just close out, slip off
What is this party and who are these people anyway?
Say the word and we'll go now let's go now
But who is driving home? Scissors, paper, stone...
