O brave new world Trigger finger gently curled The dream is a thing of the past Isn't it ironic While launching supersonic We've entered the time to fast Praying on fear That artless future here The extremes are narrow yet vast Reality isn't real They tell us how to feel The mould has already been caste A life of pamper Myopic lemmings scamper The edifice wasn't built to last Years become hours Memories beset towers The flag now flying half-mast O brave new world Trigger finger gently curled The dream is a thing of the past
