The Grand Experiment
DESSA
It begins with a flash I know they say it ends the same bit of skill, bit of chance now every player guess the game we start with these planets waltzing through the darkness tip the axis, that one's ours zoom the camera in, cue lights up, dim the stars We shape the stone paint our pictures on the wall we hunt alone, plant in spring learn to harvest in the fall and we choose a king, mine the metals for his forges to better wage our wars and all of Olympus is laughing until we go and split the atom
SIMS
Push that metal on down the road, we built this city on coal and gold Money that trickles out, fill up that cup and sip it down from the salt in the sails on down the rails Everything's for sale is the golden rule including…well, I'm no fool They get in a rush in a haze but I get out of mind, out of body, out of pocket I don't mind putting on a bit of mileage, but I won't auto pilot with my eyelids shut I'm still gunning, but I learned what's worth hunting and I learned what's worth nothing saw it read it outdone it
STEF (hook)
There's no escape They always looking for that easy out but there's nowhere to go There's no patience They always looking for that easy out but there's nowhere to go
CECIL
Now all the parts are running, sparks are spilling out the gears Over some thousand faces waiting years to see this work Aching cause they need it first Patient, but they seem berserk Craving for that feast of merch Yo! Save a slice for me and her Isn't it marvelous…just darling (it's the newest thing) It's totally harmless, but it's charming (it's the cutest thing) But, it bites…not hard…just hard enough to break the skin and your bone and your back and the bank But wait, it comes with a warranty for a week, and that's respectable It's cheap and it's ethical…well, it's ethical…well, it's magical really See, you put the cash in the till, fill in the blanks and that's it For my next trick I'll need your password and an exit and then poof cue the fog machine (Hook)
MIKE
Modern man out of hand motor mind off the line automate the operator Can you hear me clearly? I'm gonna live forever give me guerilla arms sling shot me into outer space in hyper colored glitter bombs We'll make our mark huh? They'll put no stops to us We'll leave our footprints on foothills and dance the Megatropolis pushing evolution faster catching continental drifts Desperately Seeking Solutions to problems we know we'll never fix In the belly of a robot out the valley of a microchip Dialysis in Wonderland Apple Z the viruses I've never been myself, there is no human experience you can't Apple S yourself this is The Grand Experiment (Hook)
