They said bitter old John let his mind go
He put in online as he sighed low
and said I’ll never be the same as the guy I know
And let the only tired mind he’d known go
.
They told him he could count to infinity
and all about the thoughts that he couldn't see
and the freedom that comes with the fallacy
of bowing down to the god of technology
.
He had fought for the flesh and his DNA
A battle cry to remain the way’s he’s made
Saying people its a crime to be that afraid
Of what you are for it’s all just a masquerade
.
They said bitter old John let his mind go
He put in online as he sighed low
and said I’ll never be the same as the guy I know
And let the only tired mind he’d known go
.
As time ticked he’d find that with every day
There were fewer who would heed the words he’d say
For they viewed him as a sage of naivete
And they sought for something better for their family
.
So they’d ask him why should we suffer man’s fate
When everything we want we can recreate
and all the hunger and the hurt that we know abate
And so it was the end of the great debate
.
They said bitter old John let his mind go
He put in online as he sighed low
and said I’ll never be the same as the guy I know
And let the only tired mind he’d known go
*HE'S ALONE WHOLE AS ONE*
