Art by Darcia Haughey. I commissioned this at roughly the same time I started writing this song.

Lyrics
Run, run away into the matrix
Cynical and bored, we don't care for our safety
Hide, hide away behind your computer
Leave a world of lies fading into the future
On the radio waves, we all saw it
Fukuyama's ghost leaving aliens in storage
Wear your meta mask, join the circus
May the apes and lions right click and save us
(Vite! Fast! Schnell! Szybko!)
Accelerate away!
It's a game, it's the fame, just you wait
It's time to run away!
It's a game, it's the same, I can't wait
It's the progress we make,
it's for wars that we wage,
To get the numbers up
So accelerate away!
These electric dreams will not fade
Accelerate away!
Run, run away into the matrix
It's the new frontier and we just can't escape it
Hide, hide away behind your computer
Artificial souls built for every user
Can't you see the lights, they are calling
We are going bust just to see the next morning
We've been on the brink forever
Liminal spaces getting busier than ever
(Vite! Fast! Schnell! Szybko!)
Accelerate away!
It's a game, it's the fame, just you wait
It's time to run away!
It's a game, it's the same, I can't wait
It's the progress we make,
it's for wars that we wage,
To get the numbers up
So accelerate away!
These electric dreams will not fade
Accelerate away!
It's the chances we take,
It's the memories we make,
you can't tell
What is real and what's fake
It's the thirst we can't slake
It's the choices we make,
Turn it up, turn it up
Accelerate away!
It's a game, it's the fame, just you wait
It's time to run away!
It's a game, it's the same, I can't wait
It's the progress we make,
it's for wars that we wage,
To get the numbers up
So accelerate away!
These electric dreams will not fade
Accelerate away!
Trivia
There's an unreleased song between this and Pure Data. Maybe I'll release it one day. It is also extra cheesy.
