THE VIGILS

Lyrics

Welcome to tomorrow’s world, come and take a look inside
We’ve got machines to think for you, so you can rest those weary minds
Our latest innovations are designed for all your needs
While you watch your lives go flashing by on a tiny little screen

Is it anything like how you’ve imagined it would be?
Living in the brave new world of the twenty-first century
If the clocks could be turned back, would you want to know how?
Because tomorrow is all too certain, and the future is now

The x-rays passing through you are no cause for an alarm
A little radiation won’t do anybody harm
And never mind the electric eyes that watch your every move
Take your number, get in line, this is all for your own good

Is it anything like how you’ve imagined it would be?
Living in the brave new world of the twenty-first century
If the clocks could be turned back would you want to know how?
Because tomorrow is all too certain, and the future is now
