Joelistics - Modern World [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

It all about status updates, sample drum brakes
A hole in the head, and the lifelong Monday
Baby bloomers and new computers
Social networks, billion users
Information, Infomercials
Crop circles and trophy wives
Hard drives and hate crimes
State lies, free steak knives
Right-wrong riots and rising tides
Catalogs buy and a lord of brides
Brand names and video games
All it takes in minimum wage
Wiki leaks in the world of police
Secret files and cover up leads
The hunger, the feast
The church and the priest
And the prelate facing the east
(East!)
This modern world
Keeps me spinning around
My god, my feet
Don't touch the ground
You can live life online
You can live a life of crime
You can live mine
Whatever you want you can find
You can get fined
You can get filmed from behind
It's a gold rush, let's get famous
Act shameless, call it neighbors
You can call it art
You can call it us
You can call it pop
And watch it climb the charts
High rollers and child soldiers
Party people and jive holders
Cash culture and clashed cultures
Market crashes, atlas shrugs
It's a leaky boat that we're all in
And the privileged life is a-callin'
Through the country's boarders you're pourin'
Put your hands up now the sky is fallin'
This modern world
Keeps me spinning around
My god, my feet
Don't touch the ground
This modern world
Keeps me spinning around
My god, my feet
Don't touch the ground
We are alive in desperate times
The best of times, messed up times
Build that fire, chase that prize
Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie
These are the days of the disconnect
Distant satellites intercept
Warfare fought in infrared
Everything you think is incorrect
My intellect needs disinfectant
Too much information
Too hectic
Twenty-first century I'm shipwrecked in it
And we're all just tryin' to connect with it
And oh my god where do I fit in
Apocalypse now every now and then
The world is a book with a cliffhanger plot
And we all want to know how it ends
This modern world
Keeps me spinning around
My god, my feet
Don't touch the ground
