If there's a guy, do you think he's looking down, curled up on his couch right now?
As we fail to figure it out, does he turn down the sound?
Is he proud? Are we proud?
Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter
Making boring people famous, let's pretend they're fascinating
Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
All that pigment of religion really matters
We're in some trouble, Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created can make for some good TV
Oh, Mr. Man upstairs, I know you're tuning in up there
Way up there, would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of vortex, the spectacle
Oh, the land of vortex, the spectacle

The long cut and paste that we make
Would you say, please say
It was worth the seven days
Does he hang his head?
It all the greed we possess
As the anti-social media perpetuates the mess
Maybe it's a test, maybe he's upset
By the loose and stress
Like the rest of us, it happens to the best of us
God, was it Mr. G to me?
I hope that through the static you'll show us the clarity
Cause it's hard to find the silver lining
In the bittersweet wonder
If you're praying for us before you go to sleep
Do you sleep in peace?
Cause we're in some trouble, Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created has made for damn good TV
Oh, Mr. Man upstairs, I know you're tuning in up there
Way up there, would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land I'm foretaste
The spectacle I'm cut and paste
That we've made
Would you say, please say
It was worth the seven days
Don't touch the remote
We'll be back in a moment
We are not hopeless
We are just coping
The mayhem is rolling
But it ain't showbiz
Reality's faulting
Chaotic, I know it
But we're growing
Have some hope in us
We are not hopeless
And what we were is all the time you gave up
Oh, Mr. Man upstairs, I know you're tuning in up there
Way up there, would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land I'm foretaste
The spectacle I'm cut and paste
That we've made
Would you say, please say
It was worth the seven days
Worth the seven days
Oh, the land I'm foretaste
Thank you.
