about

written & arranged by Brian Woodbury

lyrics

I don’t plan to see
Your dystopian fantasy
Why waste my time?

Two hours stuck inside
your stock apocalypse
Don’t make me believe

Up there on the screen
like Nostradamus
To every gullible Thomas who’s been taken in

That’s not a threat,
It’s a promise

You say it’s only hyperbole
Verbally
You’d never believe that hype

If it’s just a warning,
Why make us want it to come true?
If it’s pure escape,
why are the heroes the only ones who can escape?

What are you saying will happen to us?

Yeah, no one’s forcing me
But nobody’s forcing you.

In a world, in a world, in a world,
That’s invading our inner world

Honestly, isn’t this one bad enough?
Haven’t we had enough?

Why can’t you foresee
Your every fantasy can plant a seed?

Your self-fulfilling prophecy
profiteers off of me

I don’t plan to see
Your dystopian fantasy
Your future’s wrong.
