lyrics

Condition green, condition red
You might forget the things you said
But what you like and what you write
Track you through the day and night

That automated ‘thank you’ voice
The stores already know your choice
With perfect algorithmic sight
Of all the data on your life

Devices on, let’s go beneath
You won’t need air down here to breathe
Sub-aqua dreams of what you’ve been
Will let you live up on a screen

We’ve reached a whole new age of man
Where we recede from our own plan
Where every life is sub-marine
Beneath the ocean of machine

Condition black, condition blue
A cold call from the human zoo
Are any left out there at all?
Behind the digital life-wall

One day we built the Great Machine
It was to serve us but we’ve seen;
It only ever served itself
Turned every life to sub-marine

Deep dive, deep dive to inter-space
Don’t need a connection just use your face
Just pray your data lets you in
Cos here you sink or here you swim

We’ve reached a whole new age of man
Where we recede from our own plan
Where every life is submarine
Beneath the ocean of machine

Condition Fake, condition True
There’s really nothing you can do
Just watch the screen don’t feel a thing
Don’t try to think, just trust machine

There’s a brand new kind of fame
where every device knows your name
It sells the secrets of your day
To shape a part for you to play

So if you try to talk to me
I’ll only hear the swelling sea
The background roar of submarine
Drowns out the people we could’ve been

We’ve reached a whole new age of man
Where we recede from our own plan
Where every life is submarine
Beneath the ocean of machine
