[Intro — voice samples]

What is the position of America in the world today?

Power mad, des--despotic cruelty

A terrible destructive force

Hoping in the darkness of the future

Or the rendezvous with the unknown


[Verse 1 — Deca and (voice samples)]

How sweet the sound that raised a wretch from beneath the ground

So he can watch Maya weave the sky into an evening gown

The priest caste never practice what they preach in town

But I can see a deeper truth behind thе roads you lead me down

Strange scеnes and lost scriptures where notation turns emotion into Technicolor thought pictures

Womb-like worlds of woven tapestries and quilts

Juxtaposed with cityscapes and factories we built

On the big screen of this dream, as earth becomes Cybertron

And prior generations pass the trauma like batons

I almost lost control watchin' it unfold, tryin' to purge hell itself

Removing toxins from the soul

The inner accusations fly the prosecution's goal

Is to make you second guess the plot you thought you used to know

Every, course of action judged by warring factions

Questioning your intentions, assessing your reaction

(ladies and gentlemen)


[Chorus — Deca and (voice samples)]

In the scheme of things, in a fever dream

In the subtext of headlines, you should read between

There's something anti-human and self-destructive

They invert package up slick and sell the public

Snakes draped in lambswool and progressive garb

Ol' slither underneath no matter how low you set the bar

To news depths, same old, stacked deck of cards

Keeps us trapped in this laboratory rat's nest of ours

(the sensational)


[Verse 2 — Homeboy Sandman and (voice samples)]

The truth that god is all makes for humility

Yet I'm cozy and comfortable with my invincibility

What'll it be?

I'm waitin' on whatever that I have to

I who orchestrate the very atmosphere I pass through

You're a leader, I'm not try'na gas you

Hop up on a path less traveled, where the grass grew, greener!

Take notice of the hocus pocus of unbroken focus

The maxims you're recording are of maximum importance

A life of purpose is the only way to scratch the surface

The universe and I are at your service, perfect!

The smallest detail gives direction

That combined with reflex, combined with reflection

Combined with relentless loving and devotion is the way to make most of these senses, yes

Great, and we are gaining momentum

Every indication the occasion is momentous

(ladies and gentlemen)


[Chorus — Deca]

In the scheme of things, in a fever dream

In the subtext to headlines, you should read between

There's something anti-human and self-destructive

They invert package up slick and sell the public

Snakes draped in lambswool and progressive garb

Ol' slither underneath no matter how low you set the bar

To news depths, same old, stacked deck of cards

Keeps us trapped in this laboratory rat's nest of ours
