lyrics

I used to wander by a clear running stream
I used to listen to the birds in the trees
Then it was bought up by a tech company
To sell virtual reality

You used to get a good job out of school
For eighteen years you'd go and follow their rules
But now they just think of you as some kind of fool
If you're not in debt at twenty two

They haven't listened to a thing we've said
They're under water they're in over their heads
The things that went away they allowed
Can you tell me if-a you know how?
It's all a memory to me now

This apple pie is tasting quite fake
Any minute now the dam could break
I'm seeing people start to tremble and shake
Cause they don't know what to do

You're extorting people with their drugs
You've got to hide it, sweep it under the rug
I hope you realize just how much blood
Is pouring off your hands

They haven't listened to a thing we've said
They're under water they're in over their heads
The things that went away they allowed
Can you tell me if-a you know how?
It's all a memory to me now

It wouldn't surprise me if they changed all the facts
Let the next generation take the impact
They just want their reputations intact
For their friends at the country club

Broken bottles line the empty streets
The bodies lying in the sweltering heat
This evidence can't get more concrete
Can I have a glass of water please?

Every now and then I think of that stream
The trees, the birds, the extinction of the bees
The desert farms, the rising of the seas
What they took away they allowed
It's all a memory to me now
