Steam Powered Giraffe - Progress and Technology lyrics

The gra** is oh so green 'cause it's been rendered there in our augmented realities That's just fine with me, because it doesn't look all that fake to me The particles that we are are deconstructed here and rea**embled afar And that's just fine with me, 'cause it's the only way to travel overseas Oh yes we're in Love with progress and technology Mother earth rebelled again We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in Love with progress and technology I hope this love will never end We used to be so simple, but now I have friends in space Genetically altering the human race Oh, they're flying around with their jet packs chasing those shooting stars And they plug into computers to figure out who they really are Because we're in Love with progress and technology Mother earth rebelled again We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in Love with progress and technology I hope this love will never end We used to be so simple, but now The science of all things in this world of ours Is understood now and reaching afar Across all manner of time and space There's no time for breaking down The knowledge of all is fed right to our minds And nobody dies now they live on through time With computer simulations of their brain Oh can this all be so real? Your heart stops at twenty five but it's alright They digitally fabricate one over night And beam it into your chest while you're asleep I can't fathom all of this Happiness sits in the palm of your hand And you dial a feeling and get it right then And your outward appearance is made just for you Please take this away from me I now have everything It's just the greatest thing Now's the age of love and peace with our progress It's all we have and want and saves us from ourselves We head straight for the future not certain of what's in store Time will tell a tale of all that we have done, it's all for tomorrow, it's all for the betterment of our Love with progress and technology Mother earth rebelled again We tamed her with our lasers, and now we're in Love with progress and technology I hope this love will never end Oh yeah we're in love with technology Technology (x5) Oh yeah
