Hologram of Yourself (Welcome to 2035)

[Hurts Like Paradise]

The year is 2035

 

Yeah, it’s an interesting time to be alive

 

I am on the highway

 

The Uber self-driving car got in my lane

 

I almost got badly hurt

 

I am taking this to court

 

Filing lawsuit

 

The law said it was my fault

 

Even though, the car went into my lane

 

But what they won’t tell you is,

 

It was 5% system failure fluke

 

 

 

When you are born

 

They implant a chip on you

 

They say it helps to keep birth records and eventually keep revenue

 

 

 

There are robots, machines and drones everywhere

 

They used to create a great big scare

 

Now they are the norm

 

They help us weather life’s storm

 

They even become friends with the dogs and other animals

 

 

 

2035 is a strange matrix

 

A strange climate we have created

 

But it’s nothing compared to this…

 

 

 

Having a hologram of yourself

 

If you can’t get a hold of me, don’t worry

 

There are plenty of me to go around

 

They look just like me

 

But they have no soul

 

They talk just like me

 

And feel emotions with tears

 

But if you look close enough

 

They have a chip in their ear

 

 

 

What do we tell our children?

 

The world used to not always be this way?

 

Our brains are shrinking

 

As we let computers do our thinking

 

Yes, we evolve, as a species grow taller

 

But our hearts grow smaller

 

 

 

Yes, the say the world is continuing to get worse

 

Another person filed for bankruptcy or divorce

 

But then, at the same time, it’s getting much better

 

The darkness is being exposed

 

And the incredible love that does exist keeps on our toes

 

God’s light burns up our deceitful and harmful ways

 

Because He is the Ancient of Days
