Society of the Mind

Brand new day
Somewhere so far away
A global village awakes and starts to crack the open airways
Cause the tiger's escaped
He tore right out of his cage
And like a spark to a flame
Assimilating its collective on the way

Like turning on a light the brain's online tonight
All around the world
That freedom in the air, big brother is aware
Or within my dreams?

And do you think it dreams of life, are we the air it needs?
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
The engine's tuned and clean time for man and machine to join
Society of the mind

School today
A sea of seething rage
And on the menu in the lunchroom we got Ritalin and Prozac
So I can concentrate
On my next level in Quake
Where I can shoot them I can kill them
And dehumanize the cancer in my veins

Online you gotta sell, you're virtual as hell
All around the world
That freedom in the air, big brother is aware
Or within my dreams?

And do you think it needs your soul once you're inside its mind
Once you're inside the mind of this world
The Code is running lean, time for man and machine to join
Society of the mind

Are you waiting for the strike?
New religion overload

Like turning on a light the brain's online tonight
All around the world
That freedom in the air, big brother is aware
Or within my dreams?

And do you think it dreams of life, are we the air it needs?
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
There's lightning on the screen, now watch man and machine will join
Society of the mind
