The digital age has destroyed the world
Destroyed humanity as we once knew it
There are no conversations
No human involvement
No emotions
No common sense
No excitement or fear
Nothing but empty face’s
Starring into an empty dimension
There is no compassion
No family values
No religion
No one believes in anything
Except for their own short-sided narrowness
Everyone thinks they are a movie star
It’s a self-centered dig me world
With no morels
No integrity
Nothing works
We have digital air conditioners
That do not get cold
Energy-efficient washing machines
That don’t get your clothes’ clean
Virtual vacations
In the back room at Walgreens
We play games on an iPad
Like a retarded child with no brains
We go to movies where the hero
Is a murderer
And we applaud this behavior
Because we are twisted and demented
Narcissistic assholes
And if you leave your house without your cell phone
A panic attack awaits you
Like a murderer in a dark alleyway
We attend community colleges
Were they lowered the score
So you can get in
Everything is fucked up
The doctors are fucked up
The lawyers are fucked up
The teachers are fucked up
Even the garbage man has an attitude
No one knows anything
Our date tells us she is a good girl
She says I only sucked 17 cocks
And fucked 28 guys
And gave 76 handjobs
And swallowed 44 times
Just like when my girlfriend and I
Broke up for one year
She asked me if I was with anyone else
I told her no and I was not
As I asked her the same thing
And she replied
No, I have not fucked anyone
I only gave blowjobs!
I said WHAT THE FUCK! Get the fuck out of the car!
What have we become?
A generation of immoral nitwits
Where anything goes
There she blows!
All our heroes are gone
The great inventors gone
The extraordinary musicians gone
The world-class painters gone
The great poets gone
Our imagination is gone
The designers gone
Great cooks gone
As we live in a burger King World
Of fast cancerous food
The Great movie producers gone
We live in an age of ugliness
Were movie stars are no longer handsome
And the actress is no longer gorgeous
And no one knows how to act anymore
It’s a fucking millennium world
Full of know it all retards and nonsense
And no one will admit it
We are like a horse with the blinders on
Like the three blind mice
Who can’t see anything
I have met the enemy and it is us!
This is all happening right before our eyes
And we are like an Ostridge
With our head in the ground
Or more like up our ass!
Wake up you stupid mother fuckers!
No one can even afford to live anymore
My uncle Nick told me one time
I can’t afford to live on this planet anymore
Plastic houses that cost $650.000.00
Automobiles the cost $90.000.00
Medication that cost $10, 000.00
It’s all out of control
We are out of control
The planet is out of control
And if we continue like this we will surely perish
Like manikins
In a nuclear test site
It’s over!
Welcome to the new digital
Age!
