Virtual Insanity

Jamiroquai · This Is [2010]

Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)

It's a wonder that man can eat at all

When things are big that should be small

Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us

And I'm giving all my love to this world

Only to be told

I can't see

I can't breathe

No more will we be

And nothing's going to change the way we live

Cos' we can always take but never give

And now that things are changing for the worse

See, Whaaa, it's a crazy world we're living in

And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin

Is all we have to give these -



[Chorus]

Futures made of virtual insanity

now Always seem to, be

govern'd by this love we have

For useless, twisting, all our new

technology Oh, now there is no

sound - for we all live underground



And I'm thinking what a mess we're in

Hard to know where to begin

If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made

And now every mother, can choose the colour

Of her child

That's not natures way

Well that's what they said yesterday

There's nothing left to do but pray

I think it's time I found a new religion

Waoh - it's so insane

To synthesize another strain

There's something in these

Future's that we have to be told



[Chorus]



Now there is no sound

If we all live underground

And now it's virtual insanity

Forget your virtual reality

Oh, there's nothing so bad,

I know yeah



Instrumental break

(chours)



Of this virtual insanity, we're livin' in,

Has got to change, yeah

Things, will never be the same,

And I can't go on

While we're livin' in oh,

oh virtual insanity

Oh, this world, has got to change

Cos I just, I just can't keep

going on, it was virtual,

Virtual insanity that we're livin' in,

that we're livin' in

That virtual insanity is what it is



[Chorus]



Living - Virtual Insanity

Living - Virtual Insanity

Living - Virtual Insanity

Living - Virtual Insanity



Virtual insanity is what we're living in
