lyrics
the new sound
is going around
and i’m in the crowd
watch the resident girl
reshaping the world
with a plundered growl
am i all washed up
am i choking on dust
obscured in a backwater town
while the new sound
keeps going around
driving me underground
there’s only one way to feel it
and that’s with all of your heart
you can’t buy you can’t steal it
only try
only bend
only struggle
for your art
stockholm’s a bust
trying to catch up
to the good old amerikan way
i got a tight first,
i got a broken wrist
on this, a sorrowful day
i’m an old girl
this is the old world
skint in a mediaeval town
while the new sound
keeps going around
driving me further underground
there’s only one law to live by
and that is the rule of your heart
do all you can just to get by
while you cry
while you bleed
while you suffer
for your art
transhumanist think-tank together
can’t keep a big man down
gonna control the stars
conquer the weather
can’t push progress around
all your dreams of achievement
lull you to sleep
in the corner of some dim room
and that's where you all sit
watching your silver ships
piercing the orb of the moon
the sun on my face
your hand on my skin
all the love that it takes
to become transhuman
the new sound
the new sound
the new sound
