Total Entertainment Forever Lyrics

Bedding Taylor Swift
Every night inside the Oculus Rift
After mister and the missus finish dinner and the dishes
Now the future's definition is so much higher than it was last year
It's like the images have all become real
And someone's living my life for me out in the mirror

Can you believe
Just how far we've come
In the New Age
Freedom to have what you want

In the New Age
We'll be entertained
Rich or poor
The channels are all the same

You're a star now, baby
So dry your tears
You're just like them
Wake on up from the nightmare

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
C'mon

No gods to rule us
No drugs to soothe us
No myths to prove stuff
No love to confuse us

Not bad for a race of demented monkeys
From a cave to a city to a permanent party
C'mon

When the historians find us we'll be in our homes
Plugged into our hubs
Skin and bones
A frozen smile on every face
As the stories replay
This must have been a wonderful place

Cover art for Total Entertainment Forever lyrics by Father John Misty

A commentary on how the modern world is addicted to constant entertainment and media stimulation. Much like Brave New World, where everyone forgets about everything serious of meaningful by having a "permanent party". The rise of virtual reality is the ultimate expression of the whole thing. People can pretend to be stars or simulate going to bed with Taylor Swift. Why even pretend to live a real life or worry about anything else? "Not bad for a race of demented monkeys" - no doubt. It's the full expression of a demented, monkey-like kind of existence.
