Down, further and further we're pulled
By a hand that exists to suppress
Unaware of the trajectory
Cannot perceive our state of distress

Brain drain, pernicious and unrecognized
Curiosity perfunctory
Trifling parody of intellect
Dysgenics in full effect

Prefrontal cortex atrophied
Higher thought processes stymied
Force-fed abject ignorance
Society turning palsied

Automation rampant
Corporate control malignant
Stunted by modern convenience
Human existence has become insipid
Desensitized and tepid

Down, further and further they drag us
Vacantly smiling, we accept the degradation
Of our lives, pleading for more distraction
In a vicious cycle of capitulation
To the voice of our species' extinction
The planned obsolescence of humanity
Is a foregone conclusion

Reverse-engineering
Superior slaves
Born into plastic sterility
Sanctioned from cradle to grave
