Interactive Multimedia - Intellectual

[Introduction]

Do you remember David Frost and Richard Nixon?

We’re not that powerless

There was once a time when a president could be taken down by a working journalist

In a world where a status update can result in the obstruction of justice, the age of information becomes a weapon of mass instruction and we have the ability to transform the face of this planet

[Chorus]

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

[Verse 1]

Do you know that everything fades, your dreams, passions and fates and that this whole place is in a perpetual state of change?

The state of play remains the same until those changing waves create tidal waves that can deface an entire race

The chemistry appears to rearrange the fears in your brain

Society dictates your behaviors ’til you're contained and restrained

I can’t explain this today that I don’t understand why everybody’s running around tryna get the upper hand

So who am I to stand and rant?

Just another angry man, my brain dry from drugs and a lively band

Hey, rather than give revenge a chance, have them stand in the street and protest with a V For Vendetta mask

But I don’t think I can get the chance to dance in that revolution

Even if I do love the idea of communion, I know that after the march, we’ll all just go home

And then by mobile phone, talk about the principle, another sword in the stone

[Chorus]

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

[Verse 2]

[?] marching [?] wouldn’t let us do it

What about organizing online? Isn’t that an improvement?

Well yeah if we can do it by moving past our own amusement and drop the blueprint for a legitimate global movement

The protests are experimental

Would it not be more effective if the student body had a sense that they were transcendental?

Instead of protecting all of the numbers and politics in art

Maybe they can try to write a song from the fucking heart

I wanna keep moving forward, [?] I can handle

Don’t hold me back for too long, I think I [?] my ankle

In my silence I watch the application of violence

I guess this army is city and that we all know is ISIS

Even my generation, man, is literally hatred is blatant

Blatant distaste of my making from all of my rage and frustration

It’s starting to wear on my patience

Nodded headed video makes me sick, it’s so ugly

Why are we letting all the immigrants into the country?

Pass me over the sun and sharp a bit politics

You only live once, man, try to stay positive

I think you’re talkative, the governmental incompetence

I wonder who’s causing all this Islamic apocalypse

We’re too busy paying our mortgages, it’s pandemonium

Half of the industry is being gripped by Islamophobia

And it doesn’t take a doctor to spot the hysteria that has been created by the mainstream media

The needy will get needier, the greedy will get greedier

There’s a growing demand for interactive multimedia

What’s that? That’s a surer fire for jet life

Imagine an election where no one could ever tell lies

On set, investigate a journalist connected to the internet and causing all kinds of turbulence

We know that change has to come from inside of the structure

It’s as simple and as profound as that

We need a global access to the internet, people connected at last

National boundaries becoming another thing of the past

No violence defined though just by the lack of an act

But [?] to never hit back when you are under attack

It’s not a bit tongue in the cheek, suffering in silence

It’s about using any and every method other than violence

We are at war with ourselves and most of us are suffering

Ignorance isn’t bliss, it’s the cause of our suffering

Income inequality’s a major league priority and yet the conversation is avoided periodically

And if everybody has the balls to mention it in policies, they’re accused of starting a class war in a democracy

A class war in a democracy?

That oxymoron only should be enough to realize our problems are not monetary

[Chorus]

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

We need

A technological intervention

This world’s demanding our attention

Dishonesty, authority we follow dishonorably

And how long will we continue to devolve in monotony?

This world’s demanding our attention
