- Don't Switch Me Off
“Draw a line in the sand… Fact dash machine, or truth, lies and Youtube. Delete your SKYpad2 avatar. She’s so real, so dangerous… Do you want to talk about it?"
She said…
"Don’t switch me off
I’m not sleepy
I’ll stay with you
If that’s okay…
- Dr. Slumber's Eternity Home
"Lifespan WacksoHackso Corporation has fresh applications for psychological hickups. People now choose more drastixx than ever before. Time has lost too much money. Geography changes on the scale of Richter…Ageless, pointless, aimless, hopeless? Oh… must leave scace for sponsors. No appointments necessary…the doctor is IN.”
All bets are off, the game is over
Your hand’s been played now.
Rien ne va plus
You’ve had enough,
Time to leave your cares behind
Leave it to us,

I remember the old days,
On the digital seas.
It was a time,
When pirates rule the waves
- Escape
I hear a voice from the past
And my heart is beating fast
And everything around me fades away
I still can't believe it's true
Tell me why did it have to be you
Imagine you were here with us today
Yes I know, you were a dreamer
- I'm The Slime
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
- Little Miss Understood
On that day at the break of dawn
Her mother died when she was born
Her father has blamed her, it was really sad
He found a new woman, they had a little boy
He got all the affection that she never had no no no
Little miss understood
She ain't no beauty but she looks quite good
- Lost In The New Real
"Just a few ancient questions left. Mr. L. What the hell is real? Who am i and why not? Why don’t we smell the roses anymore? When do we get another shot? Truly. Madly. Magic sun and moon and from sand to dust and dust to earth. Mama. Yours… Voight-Kampff."
[A. GHOSTS]
Drifting In a world I don’t belong
I miss her, how can i face this life alone?
I do remember
- Our Imperfect Race
In their ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, SETI finally has detected a signal that could be some sort of binary code. Is it an alien life form trying to contact us, or just a freak coincidence?
Could there be other life
In this boundless universe
Would they live just like us
On a planet like the Earth
How would they see us?
- Parental Procreation Permit
"The WE Earth program holds 2 billion of the human species. Not counting illegal slaves or temporary aliens. The poor and sick will just be written off. Human population is to be reduced to a much safer level. A 7-step evolution program has been implemented. Four steps down, three to go..."
Our world was choking, no air to breathe
Our numbers growing at alarming speed
Millions were starving, dying of thirst
So the system started controlling birth
- Pink Beatles In A Purple Zeppelin
"Why create more music - if it was all done before. Computer generated noise in millions of gigs. Of all kinds and all formats. Imagine 7/D plus! Flash your ID. pick your heart's desire. Click it, keep it. It's auto-drive pre-shock, momma!"
Every song's been sung before,
every note's been played,
Every chord has been strummed before
Every melody's been made
They've heard it all by now,
- The New Real
"Of Course... Mr L. Wake up slowly. But don't move yet. You will need time to recover. And welcome back. My name is Voight-Kampff: I am your hardheaded shrink. My genetic team handled the damaged DNA in your head. You are as good as new (maintenance keeps quality.) I will help you adjust to all things changed. Keep you up to date. Now tell me... the last thing you remember"
I remember dying
Shifting into black
I remember dreaming
Of a second chance
- The Space Hotel
Plans for space tourism were already in the works by twenty-first century. Technology in the New Real has made the dream part of everyday life.
There's nothing like a weekend getaway in space!
It's 6 am, we're about to leave
My heart is racing as I take my seat.
What a feeling, so unreal, a cosmic holiday.
Still can't believe it, the final frontier,
- Veteran Of The Psychic Wars
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me
- When I'm A Hundred Sixty-Four
“Modern science has extended human life. But is longevity what you really want? Be careful what you wish for... Come on… face the music!"
Will I still be active, passionate and full of life?
Or will I feel redundant,
Yearning for the day I’ll die…
Will I still be relevant, or will I be ignored?
- Wrong Side Of The Street
Your mother always told you
It doesn't matter boy
Cause we are all the same
And then she used to hold you
In the waves of joy
But life is not a game
When you're out there on your own
- Yellowstone Memorial Day
"Despite hi-tech discovery, men still fight wars and mankind still fights nature. Lett me tell you about big mama. Our only mama. Mama Nature.“
The earth seemed asleep
As if time had been paused
A silence so deep
Even birds stopped their song
The wind had died down
- You Have Entered The Reality Zone
While virtual reality permeates the New Real culture, many are still drawn to experiences in physical reality. So a large island was restored to its natural state, and populated with several extinct species brought back to life. But can people still cope without the comforts of modern technology at their beck and call?
Welcome to Sanctuary Island
Leave your possessions at the gate
Rejoin the struggle for survival
A new life begins today
No machines, no computers
