lyrics

"If you could, do you think you would want to be a vampire?"
"Uh, the thing is, to live forever just sounds like hell to me."
"Oh. But think of all the things you could become—like, a master painter!"
"I think just mastering anything at all as, like, a regular mortal human being feels more, uh… meaningful."

"The future is a cloud! The future is a cloud! The future is a cloud!"
"The future is concrete! The future is concrete! The future is concrete!"
"What do we want?!"
"NOW!"
"When do we want it?!"
"ALWAYS!"
"What do we want?!"
"LATER!"
"When do we want it?!"
"NOW!"

"…and here we have what will surely be a notable site of some of the country’s great now-living ruins. Notice the intactness of the concrete; the windows; the alive-ness of its inhabitants... A shame, a real shame. Moving on, we have some of the future’s most delicious delicacies…"
