So I’ll let you know now
Not that it matters
‘Cuz there’s no stopping this time train
But I just thought you might
Appreciate some tips
Put away these 5 things
Paper money, photographs, a map
Sensitivity and creativity
I suppose I could have 3D projected
This info but I didn’t want to freak you out
Holograms are in these days
Soon you’ll be scanning yourself for disease
They’ll send you the results via…
Yep, you guessed it
Dr. Hologram
And as we battle over nothing in space
I’ll picture you
Sitting by your retro gas fireplace
Natural, of course
Sipping on green tea
We don’t do natural anymore
Take trees for example…
Yes, take a tree
Maybe a small bonsai you can hide
Because you’ll be charged extra just for having one
Advice from the heart…
Don’t let them implant anything in your head
Life was better before becoming an Android
“Look above you- it’s raining
Look around- there’s a flood
Who can say when it started,
but now the ghost is in our blood”
