Virtual Insanity Lyrics
It' a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big
That should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us.
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
Cos' we can always take and never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting of our new technology
Oh now there's no sound for we all live underground
Hard to know when to begin
If I could slip the sicly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the color of her child
That's not nature's way
Well that´s what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Waoh it's so insane to synthesize another strain
There's something in these futures that we have to be told.
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting of our new technology
Now there's no sound if we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad, I know yeah
Instrumental break
Oh, this virtual insanity, we're living in,
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can't go on
While we're living in oh, oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual,
Virtual insanity that we're living in, that we're living in
That virtual insanity is what it is
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting of our new technology
Oh there's no sound for we all live underground
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
This song tell's so much about the world we live in today... take a minute to think about it...
@raundall Ah an old comment from 2002. I doubt you care about the song now but it's now 2020. I wasn't even born in 2002 but from when I was in kindergarten to now as a high schooler in 2020 technology and the way that technology is used now is crazy. In ways we couldn't even imagine in 2006. Technology has advanced in wild ways.We truly are living in a virtual insanity.

technology is as much as me as my body is. and mind?
Strangely prescient back in 1996. Here we are in 2012, and certainly seems we're heading down that useless, twisting road.
if u need a song about the world of today... virtual insanity i couldn't say it better
Technology is great. Enjoy it!.. but challenge yourself to live for real with practical skills and knowledge alfresco independent from society, debt and electronics!

A thought. We all now -live- in the 'digital underground' i.e., what 'the Internet' was known to be in the mid-90s, and largely populated by those who'd been on the BBS before, versed on IRC, and so on.
And there is no sound. Because nobody picks up the phone anymore. We all text. We all type.
Scary.
in the future we will be so dependant on technology, we won't have to do anything for ourselves. Anything can be done by our will. This is a bad thing.
i think that whoever submitted the lyrics for this may have made a slight error. the last line of the set after the first chorus. There's something in these futures that we have to be told. Im pretty sure that instead of "be told", that its "veto." you know? like, something in our future that we've gotta stop before it happens. the songs all about warning us so we think a bit. jay kay is trying to change the world.
@orangetomorrow ...yea man u seem the only one around to have noticed that..even 'when performed live u can clearly hear jk saying veto...but the main argument is that it makes a lot of sense

yes it is
love it... i think most people have covered the basic principals JK is trying to put across... i.e. technology is becoming so overwhelming in this day and age that we are becoming / have become totally dependant on it. it was a bit of a wake up call back in the 90's for people to open their eyes and see that there's more to life. personally i think this song is still as poignant and relevant now as it was when first released. and on top of it all - IT SOUNDS GREAT and has a video to match! (quite ironic when you think about the car collection JK owns though - how many million pounds worth of useless technology has he got sitting in his garage?)
