Nostalgia:
When I saw the music video, I was blown away. Being a mere kid with a fresh insight into the world of music videos, I was like, "HOW DID THEY DO THAT?"
You have to admit that the video for "Virtual Insanity" is one of the most innovative in its time... actually, until now... Two days ago, my bandmate's cousin made me sing this song... and it actually felt good! Makes me want to bring it back. I think I may play this in one of our gigs. Haha!LYRICS:
Ooh... hey, hey... oh
What we're living in... Let me tell you...
It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world, only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe, no more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Coz we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, whoa... its a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother, can choose the color
Of her child, that's not nature's way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Whoa - it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Futures that we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground
Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad
I know yeah
Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground
Livin' in - Virtual Insanity
Livin' in - Virtual Insanity
Livin' in - Virtual Insanity
Livin' in - Virtual Insanity
Virtual Insanity is what we're living in
Yeah, yeah... well it's alright now...
