Doomtree - The Grand Experiment lyrics

rate me

It begins with a flash

I know they say it ends the same

bit of skill, bit of chance

now every player guess the game

we start with these planets waltzing through the darkness

tip the axis, that one’s ours

zoom the camera in, cue lights up, dim the stars

We shape the stone

paint our pictures on the wall

we hunt alone, plant in spring

learn to harvest in the fall

and we choose a king, mine the metals for his forges

to better wage our wars and all of Olympus is laughing

until we go and split the atom.

Push that metal on down the road, we built this city on coal and gold

Money that trickles out, fill up that cup and sip it down

from the salt in the sails on down the rails

Everything’s for sale is the golden rule

including…well, I’m no fool

They get in a rush in a haze but I get out of mind, out of body, out of pocket

I don’t mind putting on a bit of mileage, but I won’t auto pilot with my eyelids shut

I’m still gunning, but I learned what’s worth hunting

and I learned what’s worth nothing, saw it, read it, outdone it

Hook:

There’s no escape

They always looking for that easy out

but there’s nowhere to go

There’s no patience

They always looking for that easy out

but there’s nowhere to go

Now all the parts are running, sparks are spilling out the gears

Over some thousand faces waiting years to see this work

Aching cause they need it first

Patient, but they seem berserk

Craving for that feast of merch

Yo! Save a slice for me and her

Isn’t it marvelous…just darling (it’s the newest thing)

It’s totally harmless, but it’s charming (it’s the cutest thing)

But, it bites…not hard…just hard enough to break the skin

and your bone and your back and the bank

But wait, it comes with a warranty

for a week, and that’s respectable

It’s cheap and it’s ethical…well, it’s ethical…well, it’s magical really

See, you put the cash in the till, fill in the blanks and that’s it

For my next trick I’ll need your password and an exit

and then poof , cue the fog machine

[Hook:]

Modern man, out of hand, motor mind, off the line, automate the operator

Can you hear me clearly?

I’m gonna live forever

give me guerilla arms

sling shot me into outer space in hyper colored glitter bombs

We’ll make our mark huh?

They’ll put no stops to us

We’ll leave our footprints on foothills and dance the Megatropolis

pushing evolution faster, catching continental drifts

Desperately Seeking Solutions to problems we know we’ll never fix

In the belly of a robot, out the valley of a microchip

Dialysis in Wonderland, Apple Z the viruses

I’ve never been myself, there is no human experience

you can’t Apple S yourself , this is The Grand Experiment
