VERSE 1
You once learned faults
While you were learning love
One tempered the other along the way
Now to think those flaws
Are kept a mystery's naivete
They're all right there on display

CHORUS
And the data grows
The terror builds
He'll be revealed
For who he is

VERSE 2
No time for reflection
Best that you can do is genuflectin
At the ease of truth so close at hand
But do you ever wonder
If somewhere deep inside there's a tragic blunder
Cuz the ultimate god is still a man

CHORUS
And the screen fills up
The eyes are fixed
Expressionless
The mind plays tricks
Because it's here
It must be true
It knows so much much more than you

VERSE 3
Gravity's tight
On a body just in from the loss of a fight
Over editor's slant that's sold as fact
No chance to compare
So you scoff a bit and then you stare
Thinkin maybe a click or two ain't bad at that

CHORUS
And attention shortens
Mouse in tow
One stop remotes
A thousand shows
Beam down all visions
Of an earth
That searches still for what it's worth

TAG
Like there were ever too few people in your face
You gotta cope now or face disgrace
I want my paper, book, and dreams
You need to think about extremes
