The Sea of Ethereal

From cave drawings, to robot airplanes in space
we have embarked on this ethereal sea

Communication, interaction, a distraction.....
sent messages in bottles, with love from you to me

Frequency unknown, your device is not calibrated,
A fatal error has occurred....!

"We no longer accept messages in bottles, nor cave drawings...
this type of information has been deprecated...
rendered now absurd!"

# [chorus]
Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, satellites, drones, and pigs on the wing
I've been watching for decades, and humans STILL can't learn a thing!

Dreamers, poets, artists, dancers, and lovers... all bare and share their soul
for your "infortainment"
....on your own personal idiot boxes

Hypatia, Galileo, King Arthur, Tesla, Jesus... and even Crazy Horse...
none could stop the blind mobs ..
of the gold-toting foxes

# [chorus]
Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, satellites, drones and pigs on the wing
I've been watching for decades, and humans STILL can't seem to learn a thing!

Global warming of the village has been making the monkeys nervous....
and they are still afraid of it's bright light

The new world order, global consciousness, the eventual fall to grace...
will be truly a miraculous site!

# [chorus]
Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, satellites, drones, and pigs on the wing
I've been watching for decades, and humans STILL can't learn a thing...

The monkeys all play in the darkness and point at the moon...
as they covet it for themselves, for it's glory and power

Fourty six and two troglodytes notice that it's cooler in the shade..
depending on the angle of the sun, and the hour

Ten million priests, doctors, lawyers, and jesters who all wore heavy cloaks in the court sun
They petitioned the king, so he proudly proclaimed;
  "The 'Son God' is declared no longer the center of the universe!"
...and he immediately commissioned the court masons to build a tower,
and snuff out this annoyance at once!

The tower fell.. (of course) and the king was exiled in shame
and as he sat in the darkness with the monkeys, and fourty-six and two troglodytes
they all started pointing at the moon...

All of the pharaohs and pirates
all your heroes and villains
all your demons and gods
all the wizards and sods
the red and the blue
the left and the right
are all but messages in bottles
floating on the sea in the brilliant moonlight...
