Gadè - Now You Tell Me

Modern life arrived deceased
A hole where nature used to be
And I
Could take all of the slings
Had a clue which direction we were moving in
Talking heads will sell you south
High on horses gonna ride it out
And we know that you know
Almost too late so we have to get it started

Have to say we're not surprised
Deal in sleight of hand, no straight reply
Now why
Should we bet the house
No intent of paying up just cashing out
Tend the garden that feeds all fools
Don't pour on the oil, make cleaner tools
And we know that you know
Almost too late so we have to get it started

Thought my eyes were open, why did nobody tell me?
Everything was peachy, now it's looking unhealthy!
Family is arguing, you'll struggle for the words
Expert plans a eulogy, a paywall to be heard
And if facts won't bail us out
Gold chains and all the feelings will help us drown
A wave is coming if you know what I mean
Projected and dissected over billions of screens

Rather not think about it, drink and shake the booty
Keep your mind on fashion lines, cults are recruiting
You can find what you want, only at a price
Cracking under pressure, should be learning to play nice
Plant the tree you'll never sit under
If we fade away who will count the plunder?
What's to do, just sit in my room?
Sounds like survival, still looks like a tomb

Silver tongued, but we smell a rat
Keeping drilling, how original, coulda told you that
And I
Don't get how you're surprised
Cartoon villains maybe should all wear a sign
All the skeptics, everyone devout
Surely see we can do without
And we know that you know
To build a better future we have to get it started

Vampire nations don't need a priest
Invent in your bedroom, globally release
If they
Drag their feet gotta do it yourself
Wouldn't wait on a burger chain to care for your health
Only have a few years at most
Self organise coast to coast
And we know that you know
To build a better future we have to get it started

Can't speak for me til you've spit my bars
Take my shoes you can wear 'em, can't run a yard!
Oppa-lenz made us late for rent
Broad media training causing over-spend
Champagne buttons are ethically gross
Last days of Rome in your social posts
Seeking affirmation, not a conflict unabated
Who walks into a knife when the whole truth is serrated?

Obvious you want to live your life
A place to dwell, tucked in at night
I feel that pull but can't ignore
Every sign and the omens are at our door
Not enough to carry on or trust in others to get it done
First chimes of midnight have begun to ring
Gotta try or being human doesn't mean a thing

Unite and join the fray, it's all or nothing
Only constant is to change, nature of time
Promise we're not falling back, a second dark age
But continue this divided, our potential's betrayed

Your anger's justified, just misdirected
Pointed at those just arrived, powerless like you
Barely grazed the heavens before hitting the ground
Look at what we built together in just a short go-around

No more I told you so's
Find out what moves your soul
Search out a common thread
We'll get there, our hearts bared

No more I told you so's
Find out what moves your soul
Search out a common thread
We'll get there, our hearts bared
