lyrics

PLEASURE CENTER - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

They hooked up their brains to their pleasure centers
Turned the dials and they went bananas
It could have been more

A singular moment and we can't go back
Every wish is granted but there's one thing we lack
Remember these words

Pinching to zoom before you can talk
Learn to like and follow before you can walk
Being groomed for sex as soon as you can text
Jaded, bored and anxious you're gonna miss what's next

They hooked up their brains to their pleasure centers
Losing sight of anything that matters
Virtually human

Watch the unboxing, pretend it's your gift
Shopping on line gives you a lift
Start your own channel using A.I.
Join the flood of influence - at least you can try

You know the matrix isn't so bad
Welcome to the best life you never had
No more limits, age or disease
Change your gender whenever you please
Throw off your darkness, put on bright
Colours and dance and sing
In your virtual world
You're anything - you're anything - you're anything - you're nothing

They hooked up their brains to their pleasure centers
