Brand new day
Somewhere so far away
A global village awakes
And starts to crack the open airways
'Cause the tiger's escaped
He tore right out of his cage
And like a spark to a flame
Assimilating it's collective on the way
Like turning on a light
The brain's online tonight
All around the world, yeah
That freedom in the air
Big brother is aware
Or within my dreams
And do you think it dreams of life
Are we the air it needs
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
The engines's tuned and clean
Time for man and machine to join
Society of the mind
School today
A sea of seething rage
And on the menu in the lunchroom
We got Ritallin and Prozac
So I can concentrate
On my next level in Quake
Where I can shoot them I can k** them
And dehumanize the cancer in my veins
Online you gotta sell
You're virtual as hell
All around the world, yeah
That freedom in the air
Big brother is aware
Or within my dreams
And do you think it needs your soul
Once you're inside it's mind
Once you're inside the mind of this world
The Code is running lean
Time for mand and machine to join
Society of the mind
Are you waiting for the strike
New religion overload
Like turning on a light
The brain's online tonight
All around the world, yeah
That freedom in the air
Big brother is aware
Or within my dreams
And do you think it dreams of life
are we the air it needs
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
There's lightning on the screen
Now watch man and machine will join
Society... of the mind
