The Grand Experiment Songtext
von Doomtree

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
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 trickle out
Fill up that cup, sip it down
From the salt in the sails on down the rails
Everything's for sale is the golden rule
Including. khm, well. 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
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

There′s no escape
They always looking for that easy out
There's nowhere to go, yeah


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, that′s it
For my next trick I'll need your password and an exit
And then poof, cue the fog machine

There′s no escape
They always looking for that easy out
There's nowhere to go, yeah

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 gorilla 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 to 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
To Apple Z the viruses
I've never been myself
No human experience
You can′t Apple S yourself
This is The Grand Experiment

There's no escape
They always looking for that easy out
There′s nowhere to go, yeah
There's no advance
They always looking for that easy out
There's nowhere to go, yeah
