[Intro: Voice Sample] This country’s finished, it’s been sliding downhill a long time and everybody’s got a cellphone That makes pancakes,so they don’t want to make any trouble
[Verse 1] The air is thick,I’m wearing thin And so much shit going on I don’t know where to begin Society’s ill,we know that the government’s corrupt The questions is,how to control that They got us programmed and socially networked Think of who’s seeing all your email and texts first And no one communicates face-to-face We’re all depending on Facebook, blogs, and Myspaces Kids committing suicide for something as small There's a rumour on the internet,that couldn't resolve And I watch as a whole generation free-falls To a digital death we’ve all come to accept This wild world of poison, I’m caught in its web It got in my head and I just want to disconnect Cause until we start avoiding this automated noise We’ll be autotuned out till there’s nothing left
[Hook] What have we become? It's out of my hands,it's out of control I’ve gone numb, out of my mind, it’s over What have we become? It’s out of my mind, it’s out of control I’ve gone numb, t-t-technology is taking over
[Verse 2] What the hell they letting kids watch now? And apologise for later when no one is around I know it sounds harmless, right? But look at the truth You sticking guns in their face, robbing them of their youth It’s nothing to lose a million dollars breaking the law If your ratings go up and haters wanna see more This is media war,how the rich control the poor But the clicker’s in your hand,so who’s really at the core Of the problem? To the fox I play possum Wait for my chance,then I strike like boxing I ain’t like talking,people never listen Advertising everywhere,I call it sella-vision Who the fuck are y’all kidding? This is planetary prison Every single one of us no matter what your skin is No matter where you’re living,your god or what you're given It’s time to put the shovel down and think of why you’re digging
[Verse 3] And not a secret anymore,it's all put on [?] And fifteen seconds of fame is Youtube trash But this necessary evil that we go through Is the first and only option that we go to In the information age we’re caught in the haze The talking heads,walking dead,living what they say And nothing's gonna change until we change our frame of mind We’re consumed with doom to fold in or die
[Outro: Voice Sample] Power does what it wants and they just put it right out front and say this is what we’re doing to you, folks. People have been bought off by gizmos and toys in this country and no one questions things anymore
[Hook]2x
[Outro] Avengers Radio Call,you're on the air Yo,it's [?],what up? It's [?] yo,thanks for taking care of the security guards for us,dawg Should I get these guys handcuffed [?] Word up.

(Annotation: As I'm not familiar with Granite State,I didn't know which one is doing which part,DC's just the producer,I think,he's not rapping,but it's his track on his album,so dunno,but hey that's my first lyrics post on here,so pls have mercy ;D,the first verse is quite easy to understand even for a not native speaker,but I got myself some help from hattscrib.com for the rest of the song. The outro is quite hard to understand acoustically,but I tried my best. Anyways,it's said that there aren't any lyrics for this album apart from Man Made Ways Well,well,well. Peace,bitches,let's see if I can get you more lyrics,and please correct my mistakes Once again Peace out)
