Watch the little wheel spin around
And round and round

Shopping online
Swallowing lies
Victims of circumstance
Telling porky pies
The world's gone crazy
There's so much wealth
Flushed down the drain
But so's my mental health
It really doesn't matter
There's so much chatter
When the face on the screen
Says it's safe, not safe
Stay safe, safe, safe


And into the future we tumble
Addicted and hungry for change
Believing a wealth of distraction
We look the other way
I'm watching with strange fascination
A sleight of hand pointing the way
Disparate voices and radical action
For freedom come too late

Watch the little wheel spin around
And round and round

Icons, hashtags, nothing else matters
Fundamental change, reboot patterns
No normal to get back to
It was always insane
But the rate of change is crazy
And it's fucking with my brain
Listen to the static
Cut down all the trees
Addicted to plastic
But tell me is it safe? Safe, safe, safe

And into the future we tumble
Addicted and hungry for change
Believing a wealth of distraction
We look the other way
I'm watching with strange fascination
A sleight of hand pointing the way
Disparate voices and radical action
For freedom come too late
