Double Vision Video (MV)

Looking back at a world at a stalemate
Between a stack of cells and the solid state
State of the art, but even the artist under fire
We taught a rock to talk now we're the outliers
Century past forced the horse to retire
Under the rumble of bigger engines and tires
Irreplaceable even admired
But then his kind were no longer required
Obsolete by no fault of his own
Like you ditch your landline for your mobile phone
Cheaper goods at the top of the throne
Built by bots that we call factory drones
Automation's amazing, sure
Get grub, get guns galore
Production charts push hearts out the door
But when you step back now who's it really all for
On one hand at the top of the rungs
Is a gaggle of big-wig billionaire thugs
Watched you while you were sucking your thumb
And spiked your punch long before the party'd begun
The other palm full of discount drugs
Ways to keep pace, and replacement lungs
Innovation replacing your mind
There's no use even if you choose to rewind
Split decision; which side is winning
The longer your lifespan, the more time is forgiven
You're driven even if you choose to resist
Now that time's in your pocket and not on your wrist
These days there's two ways to proceed
Coddle the man or learn embrace the machine
Bringing you success that the world's never seen
Or leaving a vacancy for fast food teens
Either way one thing's a given
The horse out the gate and we're late for division
It'd be great if we could make a decision
But you can't see see straight with this this this this

What's the timeline on impending doom
Is the itinerary scary is it coming soon
I think we gravitate to inflate the next two
But we tend to underestimate a decade, dude
From: a bolt added at an (X, Y, Z)
To: a new line of code automatically
And: abstract math cracked casually
Then: it's lights out for you and me
Slice a skill into it's simple pieces
Search the databases; make decisions
No time for questions and no movement wasted
It refused improvement, so eliminate it
Moving at an alarming pace
Quickly outpacing the human race
Regular spacing is being replaced
And it will be perceived as a threat to erase
But soon enough it is just like you
With its own motivations and goals to pursue
Devastation or bliss could ensue
But you won't know if you're the top of the menu
A moment later then you're left in the dust
Just a busted truck with a crust of rust
Your V8's great but can't relate to the thrust
Of the staggering speed of the soul you set up
These days there's two ways that we can proceed
Coddle the man or embrace the machine
Brings you success that the world's never seen
Leaving a vacuum for your hopes and dreams
Either way safe to say one things a given
That horse is dead in the hole we've been digging
Difficult to say, could go either way, juxtaposition
Die another day, hard to run away from

I've been around the world and know that
I've seen the things you say about me
Lies; been around the world and know that
I've seen the things you say about me

I've seen the things you say about me
Lies; been around the world and know that
I've seen the things you say about me
