here today and gone tomorrow
it's here today and gone tomorrow
forced cycles of repetiton
life in the range of screens and speakers
listening to what they tell you to
watching what they want you to
and believing there is no other way
if it's in the papers, it must be true
if it's on the radio, it's what you have to listen to
it's on tv, so we have to watch
watching events unfold
but then soon enough forget
again and again
everything's here today and gone tomorrow
but aren't we all?
technology advances our society
but just as quickly tears it apart
the mass media and the mainstream
they like to shove it all down our throats
it's all a product and we're the consumers
everything's a commercial, and nothing has substance
tailor-made so it's all easier to swallow
it won't be long until we choke
it won't be too long until we never remember
our attention spans are one short fuse
living the all-american life
we'll waste away & forget ourselves
