Lyrics
Modern Life´s got one big advantage
You don't have to go outside
You can order the world just by clicking
We´re going with the tide
Losing old knowledge is fine
Yes, we know how to keep the wheel turning
without sense of direction
we have spread since the first fire's burning
the compass needle spins
we´re gradually loosing ground
I wonder how aims can be found
we just ignore our sins
full speed ahead
We keep on dancing
turn out the light
the end`s advancing
who knows what´s wrong or right.
You`re a superstar in social media
serious hashtags describe it.
You pretend that your life is outstanding
But no one sees your tears
addicted to comments and likes
You are clever, a bargain hunter
seeking your own advantage.
Losing conscience makes you a good punter.
Responsibility
recently went out of date.
Will we wake up before it's too late?
Losing humanity 's
a cheap sacrifice
We keep on dancing
turn out the light
the end`s advancing
who knows what`s wrong or right.
We keep on singing
old songs we like
nobody 's changing
we are afraid to strike.
Turn up the volume
Turn up the sound
We keep on Dancing,
and dare to leave reality behind.
