They seen a different view
Saw only what we knew
Was it worth it?

Check your optical feed
Another android's head blown off
Puttin' the kid to sleep
Now TWS looks like an air pod
Page'll need reconstruction
Facial scarring ther'll be adjustments
Families emotional, misses the butler
Dude asks Mary Poppins to hook us some butter
As the almost flawless young barista hands us our muffins and coffees
Smiles with a twinkle in her eye "Sir newer models, they don't explode"
Oh okay, morse code, sure wouldn't ask if the floor was cold
Ha, a good chuckle by all, as we hover back into the mall

Out of a hardened space
Up past the rubble, a distant room
Entered as they fled
Saw his own reflection scared half to death
Was it the missing flesh?
Or maybe surprised of how much was left?
He sat down and wept

Was it worth it?

No more nine to five, just to stay alive all it takes is a contribution
There are ways to get rich, 'cept now they got robots diggin that ditch
Still too many standing around watching, no breaks, no mistakes
Something broke, it gets replaced, too many people in my space, was it worth it?

Is it worth it? We did it all for you

These corporations are still basically formed
Locally loyalty raised us, okay left to be creative
It was right there edjucate 'em
Too much time spent on who hates us
We ran right out of patience
All the wiser, slower, weightless
Feel just slightly weighted, screwed in tight
Like they fuckin' got you to the ground
You probably tryna catch your breath right now
Still breakin new ground, shakin them roots down
The present day is filthy, but the new gear doesn't dirty
It's all gone techno again, guess you were right Moby
Are all these lonely nights the only light side to a very messy life
Right? Feeling stressed? Rest. Could it all be alright?
Don't believe the hype, Don't don't don't don't believe the hype

Was it worth it?
To put my heart on the shelf?
Be like him? be like you? be like everyone else?
Was it worth it?
To stab that heart on your sleeve?
You wear it there, cause you care, in your chest it feels bare
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
