Ten Thousand Lines Songtext
von Electric President

(Yep)

We paint the future from this bedroom
With lots of progress, cold and heartless
And nothin′ lives, just twitches and moves
It's all synthetic but it′s all we've got

Thousands of wires spread through the halls
Thousands of eyes live in our walls
Now they can see just what we've done, oh no
Now they can see what we′ve become


Ba-dum
Ba-dum-bum
Ba-dum
Ba-dum-bum (doo)
Ba-dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo)
Ba-dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo-doo)
Ba-dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo)
Ba-dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo-doo)
Ba dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo-doo)
Ba dum (doo)
Ba-dum-bum (doo-doo)

No sun, just radiation here
Get it by the lungful
No time, no way to count the years
Except by the creaking sounds in your bones

(Goddamn it)

They′ve got your name, they've got your number
They′ve got your hopes, your dreams, your future
They've got your loved ones by the throat
And soon enough, they′ll let ya know
And I've learned enough to keep my mouth shut (We′ve fought too much, said nothing)
I've learned enough to watch my back (We've heard it all, there′s nothing new)
And I′ve learned enough to become wallpaper (We've seen the way to our undoing)
And blend in with the cracks (And the way to yours as well)

Ten thousand lines run from our minds
And ten thousand plans spread from our hands
Now we can see just what we′ve done, oh no
Now we can see what we've become, oh no
Now we can see just where we stand
